24/192 RVG remaster of Somethin' Else on Qobuz

[AudioDoctor]

Sounds amazing. No other words for it.  Amazing.

 

Listened through Aurender N10

This is actually not an RVG remaster. Qobuz used the wrong info and cover.

The Blue Note remasters made in 24/192 (usually also offered in 24/96) since 2012 were done by Bernie Grundman or Alan Yoshida.

Is this mono or stereo?

[AudioDoctor]

It sounded like stereo to me

Interesting.

[Ralf11]

better than the CD? 

 

how did you compare them?

[AudioDoctor]

I compared nothing, I just felt it sounded great!

[Ralf11]

ok, thx

 

... then again, maybe your hot dish was dosed?

[AudioDoctor]

Well, after that post above I compared it to the 8track in my buddies mint Gremlin and the 24/192 version on Qobuz still sounded better...

 

Then again, if we are not sure if it's mislabeled or not, I don't know which version to compare it to.

[Ralf11]

his Gremlin is Mint Green?

[AudioDoctor]

well, that too but I meant in perfect condition.

While I would prefer MQA go away, the Tidal 96k version (and 192k) sounds identical to the Qobuz 192k version to me. Just the first 'unfold' by Roon.

 

Probably the same mastering, as you hint.

 

[CatManDo]

Yes, most of the Blue Note hi-rez download reissues were offered in 24-192 and 24-96, using the same remastering.

[AudioDoctor]

How would a person even go about getting that information?

Is there a way you could check this for me? I already have a 24/192 mono version (HDtracks) of this, and I don't want to repurchase another mono version. Thanks!

[AudioDoctor]

Best I can do, a screen shot of the digital booklet.

The RVG version (CD) is stereo but all the HR versions I have are mono. I suspect that the Qobuz version is the same as the one that HDTracks sells.

 

That said, the mono version sounds pretty darn good.

I just ended up buying this from Qobuz as part of their summer sale for €4.49 (with Sublime discount). Not a bad deal, and agree, a very nice remaster.

This album still appears to be wrongly titled on Qobuz store @David Craff

The middle one is the 1999 RVG version, not the top one. Not sure why it is only available in CD quality (sounds good tho) ?
