Listening to Now In SACD Stereo (or Mono)

[esimms86]

Ralphie, pass the bong! There’s a great video of a live performance of “Keep Me Hanging On” at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I went there in the summer of 2018 as part of my brother’s “bucket list tour.” We started in Detroit(for the Motown Museum, also coincidentally being there in Aretha’s hometown on the day she died), went from there to Toledo to sample the wares at Tony Packo’s(made famous by Klinger on “M*A*S*H”), then off to Canton to visit the Football Hall of Fame, and finally making a stop at Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.

To my ears a nice smooth EQ and well mastered
(not loud) IMO one of the best stereo versions.

I see two Japanese SHM SACDs, the UIGY-9052 that you mention and UIGY-9613.
Anyone know what the difference is?
First one mini LP, second one jewel box with the same mastering?

According to Discogs they have the same mastering:
UIGY-9613
2010 DSD Mastering
Single Layer SHM SACD
2014 Reissue
UIGY-9052
2010 DSD Mastering
Single Layer SHM SACD

Sorry, don’t understand DR stuff

Are these good numbers for the Fudge?

They are average at best. I figured they would be higher!

The DR thing is a bit puzzling.
DSD files are converted to PCM and then a number is generated for the dynamic range of the converted file.

Doesn't tell you about the sound of the file before being converted to another format.
