So, hmmm. Just got home from work, noticed a suspicious package in the mailbox. It sure looks like music to me. But......I haven't ordered anything that should be arriving this soon. So, WTF is it? Sweden?? Now, I have no clue.

Rip it open, and it's Rick Wakeman!! I canceled that order a LONG time ago, and even received confirmation that it was being canceled. So....did I pay for this?

Just found the email I received confirming cancellation from Music Glue on March 24th. I sent support an email asking if I was charged.
 
DR values for the CD they sent me.......not impressive, yet I think it sounds pretty good.

My ears and your figures tell me that's acceptable for this material.

BTW, might someone kindly post the DR for the Kansas 5.1 Blu Ray in the appropriate thread?
The waveforms appear to be less crushed than the RBCD, just curious.
