You are absolutely correct ... I am sure the analog versions trounce the early issue SACD. The Brubeck was one of the very first of Sony's single-layer SACD releases.MY point is that someone could come along now, such as MOFI, and instead of a rapidly deteriorating analog tape, they have the original recording preserved in DSD.
DSD chip sets, converters, etc. all continue to improve for playback, even while the recording industry is still finding it's way with DSD.
And since very few listeners (in the general population) now have either open reel or analog capability, and many fewer have access to those recordings in their original forms the irony is, to some degree, moot.
To understand the early issues of SACD's, just take a trip back down memory lane to CD's, in the eighties REGARDLESS of their technology of origin... brrrrrrrrrrr.
I will state this unequivocally ... to lose DSD as a recording and archiving medium is profoundly tragic, whether or not the "regular" folks get it, or not, AND whether or not they ever buy or listen to an SACD disc.
To celebrate this loss, is disgusting.
