Absolutely awesome! Using minimal compression this disc begs to be turned up.

In a hurry I initially listened to the 24/96 side by mistake. After the third track the fourth begins with vocals only and it simply did not have the depth and detail of the original vinyl. I decided to check the player and sure enough it said 24/96. I flipped the disc over and viola, there was the missing magic with all traces of digital removed proving yet again that only 24/192 can really be called HD audio in the DVD-Audio world. It is truly a shame that 24/96 is the predominant coding used regardless of the improvement over 16/44 CD.
