I have an earlier 24/96 version of it also. The actual one is much better. It is little louder (to be considered), still dynamics is even better. Trancparency is better too and a covering curtain is gone.

Listening in Roon 1.8 of course, to the old standards I know well.

Do you have any information about what's different with the new release compared to the older 24/96 from 2010? Different master tapes? New transfer? Different mastering?

[JoeWhip]

I will have to compare the two. Be wary though of a louder master.

Yes it is louder, that could mislead, agree. Still the new version SQ is much better than the 2010 high-res version - for whatever reason.

Below are the DR values, for sure they can not describe the SQ, but they show the volume difference and a very similar overall dynamic.

 

This is the new 2021 release:

 

DR         Peak         RMS     Duration Track
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DR12      -0.20 dB   -16.56 dB      4:52 01-Night Train
DR12      -0.23 dB   -14.97 dB      3:26 02-C Jam Blues
DR12      -2.35 dB   -18.38 dB      3:47 03-Georgia On My Mind
DR14      -0.33 dB   -18.90 dB      5:43 04-Bag's Groove
DR12      -0.20 dB   -15.53 dB      2:56 05-Moten Swing
DR14      -0.76 dB   -18.37 dB      2:46 06-Easy Does It
DR12      -3.22 dB   -18.04 dB      2:25 07-Honey Dripper
DR14      -0.35 dB   -18.50 dB      4:39 08-Things Ain't What They Used To Be
DR14      -2.06 dB   -20.84 dB      5:09 09-I Got It Bad And That Ain't Good
DR12      -0.27 dB   -16.10 dB      3:56 10-Band Call
DR12      -0.21 dB   -17.16 dB      5:37 11-Hymn To Freedom
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Number of tracks:  11
Official DR value: DR13

 

And now the 2010 version:

 

DR         Peak         RMS     Duration Track

DR15      -1.92 dB   -21.52 dB      5:38 04-Bag's Groove
