Those are considered good masters I take it?

@rlow Yes, they were all remastered by James Guthrie. Other than one or two scattered masterings here and there over the years, there are generally no outright bad Pink Floyd releases. This is the first time the whole main catalog has been available in hi-res.

Having listened to several of these today, I feel comfortable saying these are among the best, if not outright the best digital Pink Floyd masterings available.

I've heard about every mastering including original vinyl. The 2011 are quite good. There's small preferences for specific albums but as a whole can't go wrong ! Which is rare these days on reissues.

Are the CDs from the 2011 Discovery box set affected by limiting?

@rott I don’t know if every last one has limiting, but several of the 2011 CDs in the Discovery box do.

I think dsotm through the wall had some limiting but still good mastering if you don't spin wax or find others.

About time they got to hi-res, but I'll wait until the streamers pick them up. Quadruple-dipping on an album is just a bit much even for me...

@Qildail They’re on the streaming services too.

@Merrick They are indeed. Roon's metadata at the album level were still listed at 44.1/16, but when played the DACs gets 96/24. Thanks for setting me square on that.
