CD Audio

I have been watching on youtube What is the best CD copy of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, first of all I didn't know there were so many copy's of it including remasters, a lot of which are from the band them self's or more to the point their record label. But the version they say is the best is the original Japanese version, they call it the "Back Triangle" why I don't know, my version made in the UK came fourth second was MFSL. Pink Floyd's remasters were not rated that highly "which makes you think" even the SACD was not rated as good as the Japanese copy. Before anyone says you got to get the original copy on vinyl, I have found this out for myself after buying a remaster of it a few years ago but that's another story. Thoughts anyone on this subject!!

The version of DSOTM I have on CD sounds good to me WHICH is all that counts. I must say that the remastered vinyl record I bought a few years ago didn't sound as good as the CD I have, it sounded like there was something was missing (I ended up getting shot of it) and I got hold of a second hand copy which did sound better than the CD by a lot. The CD sounded cold by comparison "if you know what I mean" The Doug Sax one you mentioned was not rated very highly funny enough. One thing I will say is this is not the first time I have read that the remasters don't sound as good. I did know a bloke who collected anything Pink Floyd and he said to me it can be subjective as if like me you have the original vinyl copy you may not be hearing the flaws in it that you are now use of hearing, which is why sometimes artists remaster them.

I have been looking through my CD players (83000) manual which I haven't done since I first got it six years ago and was reading up on the digital filters it has, I'd forgot it had them. Has anyone had any experience with these filters or any other DAC or CD player with filters?
