and DVD-A sounds better on my player anyway.
It does look like Steve Wilson stopped though. As a concert, it would likely be the last thing that anyone would remix to HiRez. I can't remember if I liked Tales from Top Oceans, - but I only want Yessongs. I went through phases of loving them, then hating them: now wanting to get 1 thing as a sample/archive..

S, I got to tell you the 24/192 of Yessongs is outstanding, and not necessarily because of the format. That was one album that always needed remastering. The multiple Atlantic copies that we've all had always sounded like a bad bootleg to me. Not the new release. It's like a totally different version. I meant to post the tests of that album, but never got around to it.
Anyone who always bemoaned the quality of Yessongs, and wished they had done it differently has got to check out the new release. For me it was like a dream come true.

Do you have a link?

It's the one for sale at Pono. Rhino I think. I will have to look at the file when I get home to be more precise.
BTW, the High Vibration box set was remastered by a Japanese engineer whose name escapes me. Word is that he EQ'd and compressed the hell out of it. I haven't heard it, but I'm going to stay away. I think the Rhino collection would be the one to have.

The best way to fix this is to buy all 9 copies and set up a shoot-out.
Costing 100s $$
Lots of folks have poo-pooed on each of these variations. My take-away is that there has yet to be a good one made.
Bummer, cause it's the only one I want. I've had vinyl copies lost, destroyed, stolen over the years. And the last thing that I want to do is go down the rabbit-hole of buying several more copies to compare. Oh well...

It would be of interest to learn why the Japan engineer compressed the Hell out of this set?
What is most likely is that the final EQ'd and compressed redbook master discs from 1997 were used to upconvert to DSD.
It is very unlikely that the engineers were able to get their hands on an uncompressed 2 channel, 1/4" reel to reel 1973 safety master as it left the studio, before going to the pressing plant & before lacquer cutting.

Sounds (no pun) logical.
Probably for the same reasons they do it to a lot of other albums.
