Yes the Wigglesworth box is good value. And the recording data will be shown in the booklet.

They get a DSD transfer from the original tape. The output of their work is a DSD file. However, a lot of remastering happens between the two, it seems. As DSD is well-nigh ...
Bruckner: Symphony No. 9 - Honeck | Marcus DiBenedetto - August 7, 2022
Oftentimes, a magnificent recording, such as this one, will fall into the abyss merely because of its age. Of the many recordings I have available to me, this one, however, is ...

There does not appear to be any conversion to PCM in the mastering of MoFi LPs. Once the MoFi engineers have done analogue-to-DSD transfers, the rest of the LP mastering ...

I'm putting my comment here because this happens to be a recent Mobile Fidelity release. The comment is not about this particular disc but about Mo-Fi in general. The world ...

At the time of writing this disc only appears to be available via the MoFi site. It went up a little under a month ago.
Limited to 2,500 stamp-numbered copies. Single-pocket gatefold with an 8-panel stapled booklet insert.
Rob LoVerde did the DSD Mastering and it sounds just like analogue recording tape circa 1972!
It is a fairly full, if a little flat sounding recording and sounds true to the era. No top end sparkle to speak of and with a small amount of that indefinable analogue tape sheen backgrounding the presentation.
Commendably there appears to have been no effort made to boost the higher frequencies and the bass is well defined with little evidence of bloom.
So yes, very good really, all things considered and certainly worth getting your hands on a copy.
