The Computer Audiophile Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 From NPR: Radiohead will release a deluxe, 20th anniversary edition of its breakthrough album OK Computer on June 23 on XL Recordings. In a series of cryptic images and messages on its website, the band revealed the album will be called OKNOTOK 1997-2017 and include a bonus disc of previously released B-sides and three previously unreleased tracks: "I Promise," "Lift," and "Man Of War." http://www.npr.org/sections/allsongs/2017/05/02/526553234/radiohead-announces-20th-anniversary-edition-of-ok-computer Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
Booster MPS Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Will purchase in an instant! Let's hope for better mastering than the original, I find it a bit lacking. Link to comment

firedog Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 It sounds good, you can hear lots of detail. It has the bonus tracks, which is a plus. It is still pretty noticeable volume compression - if that matters to you, especially in a hi-res download. If that bothers you, maybe just download the Redbook version. I downloaded it from the Band's site, as I assume they make more money that way. wgscott 1 Main listening (small home office): Main setup: Surge protector +>Isol-8 Mini sub Axis Power Strip/Isolation>QuietPC Low Noise Server>Roon (Audiolense DRC)>Stack Audio Link II>Kii Control>Kii Three (on their own electric circuit) >GIK Room Treatments.

wgscott Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Well, I was feeling lucky, so I purchased it from their website. Lucky? I just wasted $20. @firedog (I should have taken your suggestion to download the redbook version.) The Computer Audiophile 1 Link to comment

Lio_B Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Hello, I Have download the 24/96 version on Qobuz. Playing with Amarra 4 compare "no surprises" track It's quite better than the original 16/44 just a little less aggressive, and less saturated No loss of dynamics Same result with "karma police" the real bonus are additional tracks finally, I'm happy with my purchase The Computer Audiophile 1 My system Link to comment
