I haven't heard the performance on either format, posted on November 18, 2020 at 01:37:36

Of course there are other variables which may enter into the equation too.

Sonically at least, definitely the Blu-ray (or the hi-res download), posted on November 18, 2020 at 02:08:29

They sound wonderful: warm, rich, smooth, open, transparent. DG even released 3 videos on the remastering process, well worth watching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2q_DDEhCVwc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_ssV5t8Og4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwgYvOdkP34
