I've gotten rid of many Fantasy SACDs, because the mastering is often inferior to other CD reissues of the same albums.

The DCC Gold CDs are usually the best digital version to get, but they are OOP and quite expensive ($30-50). For other albums, the XRCDs (mastered in the US in case of many Riversie sessions) are usually superior to the Fantasy SACDs.

I wouldn't count too much on the new Concords CDs, as the remastering work by Rudy Van Gelder and Joe Tarantino is decent at best. The problem with these reissues is that the initial OJC CDs already sound very good and have bonus tracks.
