The DR on this doesn't tell the whole story....this MOFI SACD just sounds as realistic as it could...wowza!

Don't Make Me Over gives me chills...she's the female version of Johnny Mathis...great range...can sing any song...and Do You Know The Way To Jose reminds me of Mathis 99 miles from L.A....

This Audio Fidelity Gold CD version absolutely wipes the floor compared to the download I purchased.

I'm curious about the DR numbers on that one...it's one of the re-issue titles that were remastered in 2016...

Here is the DR info on the SACD. I'll have to check the CD version and see if it's actually better. Geez...you never know about these things until you do some digging.

As Clint has said many times, the DR isn't the whole story, actually listening to each, i.e. A/B or similar should be the ultimate judgement.
In other words, trust our ears also, that's the final destination

 

[Clint Eastwood]

er. Geez...you never know about these things until you do some digging

, the DR isn't the whole story,

Actually those are good numbers...nothing wrong with them...where the difference is noticeable is when you have single digits...then "usually" you can hear a difference...at least on a CD...but there are some surround mixes that have crappy DR numbers but the mix masks the compressed sound...at least to your ears...
