Blu-Ray vs. MFSL CD

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.

Thanks for the update, @falconquest .  Sounds like it could save some wear and tear on my vinyl copies.

I think BluRay audio only discs are a great medium....I wish there were more to choose from

I would like to demo that Ayre player someday. I have an extensive collection of CD/SACD discs and want the very best playback.

I have read that The Rolling Stones greatest hits on Blu-Ray audio is
outstanding.
