The APO sacd's of the approx. 13 classic jazz titles are quite good in my opinion but also in my opinion you cannot compare these to the Chesky NY sessions sacd's. Not apples to apples anyway. The APO's are DSD sampled from supposedly the master analog tapes that are 40 to 50 years old. The Chesky's are minimalist recordings using modern equipment and techniques. There is a lot of tape hiss, rumble, wow&flutter and so forth on the APO's that is just not there at all on the Chesky's. They are both great sets of discs and well worth the money but I find the K2 or XRCD versions of the same 13 classic jazz titles on APO to be superior in that they just sound more like music to me. Definetly could be system dependent and personal taste dependent. Cheers!
