Decent remastering work can make miracles.According to the linked review by Felix E. Martinez:
"Some erroneous technical information regarding the DVD-Audio version of The Nightfly has been floating around the Internet of late; namely, that the sampling rate was kept at 24-bit/48khz to avoid sample rate conversion from the original digital master tapes. While the DVD- Audio's sampling rate is indeed close to the native sampling rate of the original recording, there was a slight conversion. According to the album's engineer, Roger Nichols, The Nightfly was recorded on a 32 track 3M machine at 16-bit/50khz. Nichols did the tape transfers for the DVD-Audio disc from the original 3M machine (which he still has) to 24-bit/48khz Pro Tools using Apogee converters. The 5.1 mix was then done by Elliot Scheiner on a Neve analog console at Presence Studio in Connecticut. The result is a prime example of the glossy, "Steely Dan sound" – a pristine mix with airy highs, a nice dynamic range, and a dry, uncluttered ambience."
Anyway, I'm tempted to buy this disc.
