LA Woman CDs: DCC vs. Analogue Productions

Which release do you prefer? The Steve Hoffman DCC or the Doug Sax Analogue Productions Hybrid SACD (although I'd only access the Redbook layer of this one)? Have you heard both? I have a 1999 release and the 40th Anniversay 2-disc set but am still searching for better audio quality (re: more vinyl-like sound, and no, I am not getting back into vinyl so please do not go there).

The Botnick remastered CD is not chopped liver. And I'm not hot dogging ya.

Rja - Yes, thanks! I know! I am a lucky dog for sure. Woof-woof! Perhaps I'll hang onto it for 10 years and sell it when I need a new car ;^)

Mgattmch - No, have not heard the original CD release. I will if ever given the opportunity. Thanks!

Geoffkait - Are you speaking of the 40th Anniversary release of the Analogue Productions release? Compared to the 40th Anniversary release, this DCC Gold projects a more relaxed, natural sound. I found the 40th Anniversary release to be a bit too edgy and slightly thin to my ears. Clean and clear for sure, but too "digital" for me.

Typo, sorry. To Geoffkait, should read:
" ... 40th Anniversary release OR the Analogue Productions release ..."

The Botnick and Rothchild and Doors remaster was at least twenty years ago IIRC. If memory serves the same group remastered most of The Doors catalog.
