I have several copies of DVD-A's CD's and vinyls version and in most cases, like 90% or more, the vinyl versions always beat out the CD or even DVD-A a case in point would be "Everything Must Go" or first presssing "Guacho". I could go on to list all the other non-Dan copies but that would miss the point.
Whether the bass is bloated may be an arguing point, however, I would quess that starting at around 8,000 hertz the high end rolls off at least 5-6 db down to 20,000 hertz compared to the DVD-A. And, I would not discribe the DVD-A as bright or tipped up. I would discribe the album as dark and lacking in much top end energy.
I've never heard such a difference between media. It is impossible to play the album loud due to bloated bass or decapitated highs, however you want to define it.
Outside of my usual unbiased leaning to vinyl I don't have a dog in this hunt. Also, my system is set up accurately. Since I use it to master recordings of local, regional and national artists it is essential that everything is in perfect operating condition.
