Norah Jones - Tidal vs. Hi Res ?


Hi Everyone, 

I was going through my favorites list on Tidal when I clicked on Norah Jones "Not Too Late" album, which I happen to own in 96kHz/24. It did not sound nearly as good as I expected. 

Anyone else able to do this comparison? 

Best,

E

There are 1 or 2 Norah Jones cd’s that had anti copyright info embedded in them, you couldn’t copy and burn them, I wonder if this is one of them and it screws with the purity of it.

There are two "Not Too Late" both added to Tidal both with release dates of 1/1/03

They’re full of it like other MQA properganda, as it wasn’t released till 2007 recorded Recorded Summer 2005–Fall 2006

This sites my bible for getting the best version and it’s never let me down.
But looking at this they’re all a bit of a muchness, the 2012 sacd redbook layer looks the best by a touch, the last one a 2007 Blue Note version has the worst compression.
