I cut out all the quoting just to keep my comment clean so to speak....
In relation to the Dire Straits, I have a first pressing vinyl, this is a good master to begin with and I and I am sure many others would follow it is a nicely mastered albumto begin with, high in detail and dynamics. I am sure when carried over to RBCD and/or SACD the lack of surface noise may allow other noise good or bad not heard before or not masked by mechanical reproduction.
I must say that to boldly state a late 1970's analog tape recording has more detail just because it is on a 96/24 capable format is a bit obtuse. You may be hearing things you never heard before because..... Well you never heard them before and in the process of transfer and filtering and yes mastering the digital brings out certain things you pleasure stronger. But I suggest this, the original tape and vinyl photocopy through diferent techniques can and will be more detailed with effort. Your 96/24 reproduction on the otherhand will never sound any better than it does currently. You can never extract more s/n or frequencies above 22 khz or lower than 20 khz. Are they there? Don't know but you will never know because digitally it has been formatted to sound the way someone else intended it to be not letting it fly free and see where it goes crappy or not.
Food for thought and in this case Steven is nuts on.
