Yes, indeed. seems like on older material were a more carefull transfer to CD can lead to superior quality XRCD has advantages just like MFSL for example. It is still debatable if new recordings from the last time are better the way they are treated by JVC. I don´t have the Brothers In Arms but many seem to like the original most. In the end it only was 16bit at the time it was recorded. So JVC most likely did record it to tape and back with some "magic" and gave it a different sound. -- Wombat Transporter -> Avantgarde based monoblocks -> self-made speakers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wombat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4113 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45659
