It’s spotty at best. Waltz for Debbie says it is the 2010 version but shows mastering details for the 1999 master.

It is still a cool thing to be able to drill down to those credits though.
Craft is putting out their latest remaster files after each reissue is cut.
They are just not giving the mastering engineers credit.
I have no idea how BG is getting credit but KG doesn't.
Maybe Kevin is not filling out the forms properly 🤷‍♂️

You can see WFD matches the same time as the vinyl reissue. (July 2023)
So this is the latest KG.

Cool thanks. (That takes a little more digging than I would like). But that 2010 remaster is still incorrectly credited to the 1999 version.
 
Somewhere I thought I saw a setting to always use the latest version but I may be confused with the BluOS or Qobuz app settings too.
I think it was Roon and I thought I was set up that way too. I think the problem here is that it is named slightly differently and I had the 201o saved from probably before the craft was released.
 
i assume they are taken from commercially available reel to reel tapes that the dude somehow licenses? it's a bit of a mystery....but most of them do sound pretty amazing.
Interesting! That's fun. Do you know what "352.8 DXD PCM FLAC" is? I assume it's technically PCM but with a higher sample rate, pulled from the DSD in a FLAC wrapper? Haha
 
It's up on Amazon. $73😬


I don't think BN normally releases the latest KG files to Qobuz.
Kind of nice to see on this.
well KG has been doing all his digital files for the japanese SACD and UHQCD series. I believe the SACD is out today as well so maybe they are just caught up finally?
