As far as I know the Gator board DOESN'T increase Gain..its just doesn't
have the slight drop in gain that the Passive Mod does due to it
removing the opamp stage all together and feeding the oputput direct
from the Dac chip.
Its a comparative increase in gain when compared to the Passive Mod

I came into possession of the bottom one because we had a music evening

believe on this thread, this is mastered exactly the same as the 24 bit
or it's not.
PPS: We can look forward to the vinyl audiophile version. Perhaps
they will remove the dynamic compression they've just added in 2009 and

The 87 masters are somewhat under-recorded - the level is too low IMO.
Darren,
Nice detective work there. Only one minor quibble. What you labeled as
original album version (1988) should read original CD version

The only way to turn it really off, is to unplug from mains.
To simply avoid the searching for server message, you could switch the

Darren - as I said, the 2009 masters have very little additional
compression and what there is is transparent - no sign/sound of any
dramating hard limiting and the compression curves used are very
soft-knee, with maybe only a couple of dB of level reduction.
