The ideal version is a direct transfer from the original DAT or analog master, before the final limiting stage. Audiophile forums debate whether such a transfer exists, but many independent re-issues (e.g., from Mobile Fidelity or European import labels) have released genuine high-res versions.

Significant Other was mastered during the height of the loudness war. The CD version (16-bit/44.1kHz) has a dynamic range rating of only DR6 or DR7 (very compressed). A true 24-bit transfer from the original master tapes—if sourced correctly—can present a less squashed, more dynamic version, even if the final loudness is similar. The extra bit depth reduces rounding errors during digital-to-analog conversion, especially on high-end DACs. Limp Bizkit - Significant Other -1999- Flac-24B...
