Cat Stevens: Tea For The Tillerman (Was one of best for showing off analog, now HD)
Supertramp: Crime of the Century (same as above)
Alan Parsons Project: I Robot (who wouldn't)
Alan Parsons Project: Turn of a Friendly Card (rated as one of the best examples of DSD ever)
Roger Waters: Amused to Death (Again, holy shit)

The Alan Parsons and Cat Stevens I have DSD waiting for the DSD DAC to arrive!

I also have the Hotel California album in HD, David Bowie Ziggy Stardust, Natalie Merchant Tigerlilly... as runner ups...

Is that Soundgarden good? I was considering the DSD version.... (ok, just bought DSD version, maybe it gets added to my list... we will see )

More excellent choices!

Randy... That Roger Waters album is good. Track 12, "Three Wishes" is especially good. It makes my speakers sound like they're 30 feet tall, 30 feet wide with a 30 foot deep sound stage. In other words... HUGE!!!

When my brothers were over, they made me play that track about 4 times in row, each taking turns in the sweet spot. LOL
