Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: Please elaborate a little bit.

All KOB versions sound similar in one way - they reproduce the same music. Different masterings sound different. Sonically.

If you want to determine which version is better, first, you have to love the album. I mean that. Not because it's famous, but because it's a masterpiece, and also always remember that it's not an audiophile recording. Then you need to buy three CD versions - 1997 Legacy (dry and thin) very cheap, FIM version (dull, muddy, no air around instruments, shame on Winston Ma) expensive, and Sony K2HD version (very good), again expensive.

If you're lucky enough to have the original vinyl, then it will be easier to compare, because it's a reference point, if not, just play the first three minutes from each CD and see which one you like. I mentioned those three versions, because they're available. If you don't hear any differences between them, then you are a lucky guy, really.

Same comparison is valid for the SACD versions. The latest version is from MoFi, and it's the best - to my ears, and my understanding of music reproduction.
