Listening now to MOFI's latest, Bill Withers-Still Bill stereo Hybrid SACD DSD64 #89. DR's are 13's and 14's.
I also own the HDTracks version 24/96 FLAC and the DR's are 12's, 13's, 14's.
Both versions are accepatable but the new MOFI comes across more full and forward, defiantely better.
Speaking of MOFI, they have so many Pre Orders and Coming Soon available now it is kind of ridiculous.

George Harrison - Live In Japan

Decent album, great to hear him up there playing. Not the best sounding live album I’ve ever heard but who cares….. it’s George.

Ironically, Rang, to my ears it sounds better in stereo than in surround!

Ironically, Rang, to my ears it sounds better in stereo than in surround!

That’s how I played it, in stereo.
The four Live In Japan tracks that appear on the DVD that comes with the box set are in 16/48 LPCM and to my ears might actually sound a bit better.
