Best format for SteelyDan...

I have virtually everything by "The Dan" including solo stuff on LP, CD or SACD. Hoping to find recordings that improve sonics over the pre-Aja CDs; in particular, "Pretzel Logic" "Katy Lied" & "The Royal Scam". Are the "re-masters" the way to go? Have these 3 even been re-mastered?

As an editorial comment, I don't understand why these guys don't have everything re-issued in some kind of hi-res format. If you know otherwise - please advise!
(fwiw - I'm running an upgraded Denon 2910 "universal" player). Thanks in advance for your advice. Ciao.

Look for original ABC pressings.

It doesn't get any better.

Thanks for the (mostly) helpful advice. Bill - I have SD on old vinyl...will have to pull them out. Not sure if they are original or re-issues. Ric - don't have "You Gotta Walk It...". Never heard of it but just googled and see it is the first work credited to Fagen/Becker. I will check it out further. Schubert - don't get your no doubt pithy response. "Trash Can"? - dissing the Dan or my CDP?

Thanks again.
