I have both. The "Treasury" copy I bought new and the "D2D" copy I bought used, both in the 1980s.

They are both excellent quality, but the Direct Disc is noticeably better in some areas. First, there is noticeable tape hiss on Treasury and D2D has none. The dynamics are also better on the D2D with better percussive attacks. Dave's piano is clearer as well as Larry's percussion. Lee's guitar is a bit clearer, too. The level of the D2D seems to be just a dB or two louder overall. Except for the tape hiss, it takes direct comparison to hear these differences as they are not so obvious that you would likely notice them if you heard them in different listening sessions.

I tried to verify whether my LPs came from different recording sessions but it appears to me that they were recorded at the same time. Tiny errors by the musicians evident in one record are also present on the other.

There is some kind of pressing error on "Git Along Little Dogies" on my "Treasury" LP, a small click or distortion in one spot, that has been there since it was new. This problem does not exist on the D2D disc.
