Audiophile blues...

PS...I tend to gravitate towards classic, old school blues...be it Texas, Chicago, etc...not a big fan of popular or current blues...although im sure they are some gems...also have Chicago blues Today series(from back in the day)...nice!

Phasecorrect, Alligator Records put out several anniversary compilations of the type of blues I believe you like. I can’t speak to your unforgiving system, but I think they’re worth a shot at the prices I see them being offered on Amazon.

You will thank me if you go here

Dorian Michaels album, Acoustic Blues in 24/96 from iTrax is stellar...

Robert Lucas's first 5 albums were recorded by Audiquest Cable using tubes and they do sound very fine indeed. All these albums are great slices of the blues genre.Layaway is my favorite with Chiropracter Blues. I love the line "Let me pop a bone in you baby." He was a very gifted blues guitarist,vocalist and harp player who Od on H a few years back.

Blind Pig also has a couple double disc compilations although with varying quality it is overall satisfying.
