Any Opinion on DCC/MoFi CD Quality?

I really don't understand the DCC hype. I have owned most of the rock titles, and I find the sound to be extremely muddy with an over-emphasis on the drums. Was Steve Hoffman a drummer? MoFi aren't too much better. The new hybrids are great, but I'm hard-pressed to reccomend any other titles for the high price.
I cannot name one disc in either brand that I would reccomend a $25(plus) payment for.
I would refer to Pink Floyd's MoFi version of "The Wall" to rest my case. An absolute case of fraud.
Equipment:Cary300 SEI,306/100 CD, Triangle Celius.

Any opinions welcome,
VG

I think to be fair you need to remember when these discs were issued,I've tended to find that most of the newer remasters do tend to sound better than DCC/Mofi (Floyd,Queen,Doors etc.)now but I think it's fair to expect that.
Obviously I have not heard every disc so it may not be exclusively true.
I do also tend to find most (but not all)of these discs have been mastered quite quietly.
More to discover
