I must say that Eddy Schreyer made really great work remastering catalog for 1991 USA CD reissue campaign.

The DVD audio of Night at the Opera is outstanding (even if it is Hollywood Records).

Aren't there some Japanese HDCDs? They should be superior to some editions.

To be fair, unless you have very high end equipment you cannot tell the difference. Try different ones and stick with the ones you prefer, or just buy the cheapest you can source, there's no difference. Unless you are one of those saddo's that runs stuff through a sound editing programme and goes by how the music LOOKS :/

So when my ears hurt from compressed and distorted audio clipping, I'm just pretentious. Good to know.

Shouldn't be the japanese SACD for CDs and the Royal Orb for digital? Honest question.
