Just wanted to offer an update. I received the Blu-Ray version the other day and gave it a spin. My only comparison is Apple Music streamed from a Sonos Connect into a Simaudio Moon DAC. The Blu-Ray through the OPPO is quite impressive. The first thing that I noticed was the fact that I could discern the sound of the sticks as they impacted the drum heads. Likewise, the piano hammer attack on the strings was also distinctive. The sax on "Bloody well right" was deep and visceral. The sound stage was broad and enjoyable, probably one of the best pieces of source material I have, although Loreena McKennitt "Nights from the Alhambra" is quite good as well. I would love to compare it to the MFSL release through the Ayre but I'm certainly not going to shell out the money for it. Overall I am very pleased with this version of Crime.
Blu-Ray vs. MFSL CD
I am looking to purchase a version of the classic Supertramp, Crime of the Century. I have been looking at the MFSL version but just ran across the Blu-Ray version which purportedly has no compression. Leaving money out of the discussion for now, does anyone have any comments on the quality comparison between the two formats? I would play the MFSL through an Ayre C5XEMP and the Blu-Ray through an Oppo 103D. I appreciate any feedback.
