I could only compare the sound in the Beethoven performances because I have them on SACD. The Brahms and Schubert I only have as RBCD. I compared just the first movement of Beethoven 5, hearing BD, SACD and then BD again. The sound is as near identical as I can be sure of. If there is a difference it could be down to DSD versus 24/96 PCM. Both sounded very good. The MCH is very effective and adds a valuable spaciousness with quite convincing hall reverberation.
At the same time I have purchased the new Blu-ray/CD DG Karajan Beethoven Symphonies (1963 issue) recordings on Blu-ray. These are stereo only, possibly because the older tapes were not suitable for reprocessing into MCH. This set is also very fine on a musical level and I do not regret buying it.
