Remastered CDs, HDCDs, SACDs

@fastfreight - Steven Wilson does remixes, not remasters. 

Thanks for the responses! Learned some new information. Appreciate that.

Hello @larsman, thanks for the distinction.  I think I am not the only one to get that 'mixed up' as I see it in print everywhere.  But, looking at this album for example I find:

which confirms what you know.  This  is also intersting on the process Wilson goes through to remix:

Thanks! Ken

Thanks for the info.  I like a lot but not all remixed and remastered CDs.  Pink Floyd’s Animals and Deep Purple’s Machine Head come to mind. I Like some but not all of the Steve Wilson Jethro Tull and Yes remixes.  I find the sound quality streaming Qobuz with my Innuos Zen MK3 streamer and Holo Audio Cyan 2 DAC rivals that of CDs.  There’s a lot of great music available online and on CDs.  It’s a great time to be listening to music on quality equipment.  

I'm pretty much totally agnostic as to the provenance of recordings these days. Streams, cd rips, 16/44, up sampling, over sampling, whatever. It's all in how well the original mastering/mixing/engineering/production was done, can't make a silk purse out a sow's ear.
