So I see lots of reissues from HDTT in DSD256. Has anyone any experience with these? Are these well done? Quite a few are available from Analog Productions (vinyl or SACD), for example stuff from RCA Living Stereo, or from MoFi. Just curious if anyone has done any comparison. Thanks,

[image] From the original Crown Records master tape, 1959, in a Pure DSD256 transfer by HDTT. This is a VERY different set of music than we hear in the soundtrack recordings. As HDTT describes, “Unlike Mancini’s official soundtrack album on RCA Victor, this is not simply a replay of the television …
