The rip sounds great to my ears. I dont recall any clipping while watching my Duets' meters either.
I'm a little curious what bit rate it was originally recorded at, if it was an all-digital recording. It would still make sense to do a high rez rip of vinyl of the analog, but it would be sort of like transcoding in a way, if the original was only 16bit.
I liked Donald Fagen's recent release alot when it first came out, but when I go back to it now, its got too much bass for me to really get into (compared to NF). Especially having heard nightfly so many times in the past year or two.
I have circus monkey, but I have yet to give it a serious listen for whatever reason.
