So you think standard (non-HDCD/XRCD) redbook CD's can't sound good eh? Check this one out. The content leans more towards Donald Fagen "style" music than classic Steely Dan, but I like Jazz, so that's cool.

Wonderful sound quality.

    That is definitely a good one. Donald Fagen's The Night Fly is very good also. In fact all Steely Dan/Donald Fagen recordings are much better than average.

    Since you like 2 against nature, I highly recommend the '2 against
    nature' live dvd. Fantastic DTS 5:1 sound and they also play some of their great classics. I have 2 against nature on dvd audio and love the 5:1 mix.
