I agree.  It's very good.  2xHD and their sister Fidelio label are quite musical and audiophile at the same time.

I have struck up a nice relationship with Rene Laflamme, the recording engineer/producer for 2xHD.  He just completed a fabulous analog-to-DSD128 transfer of the original analog tapes of Jazz At The Pawnshop; actually three individual transfers at DSD128, DSD64 and DXD (24/352.8k).  Each transfer is direct, and Rene used a very high-end tube-based analog tape machine for the transfers.  The results are amazing, and we put each of them up at NativeDSD.com for release in the coming days.  (Note: yes, we feel direct analog-to-DSD is still considered "native" in that it never was a PCM recording).

Thanks Ted, didnt realize all that. The attention to detail is evident in the download. I have got to get up to speed on DSD playback.  :cry:
