RE: Keep waiting! DSD is my preference these days. ;-)

"I'm even more impressed with the sound of DSD256 from internet dealers like Native DSD. Consequently, I've basically given up on vinyl in favor of hi-rez PCM and DSD."
But those are different mastering jobs. Apples and oranges. I think there's a distinct possibility that you just like the new mastering engineer's "sweetening" better than the original mastering engineer's "sweetening" who did the vinyl you're familiar with.
As a mastering engineer I can make the best two track master tape sound awful if I want to. The last thing I am going to do is make my master file sound like the tape. Or, if I'm starting with a digital file, my mastering job will not sound like that file. It's hard to get a paycheck if all you do is a straight transfer.
