Which DSOTM CD is best?

[Mellotroniac]

Wonsaponatime, I bought a CD of "Dark Side Of The Moon" at my local CD shop. Little did I know that there were so many other "Editions/Reissues/Remastered" ones out there. This particular CD is the one with the fogged/grey prism on the front. So my question is, out of these different DSOTM's out there, which one would be the Ultimate most Audiophile worthy one to get? I don't have an audiophile setup, but I have alot of software and so on, you get the point. What are you opinions on which version is best and why? I'd like to get the best one possible in the future (besides the Master Tape ).

Personally i think the DTS edition is the best. But you must have access to a dolby 5.1 or 6.1 audio set.

I have many versions in vinyl and on cd, even a gold plated cd, or at least this is what's written on the box.

The 30th anniversary vinyl edition sounds great on a good stereo player, but I have to admit that I remained amazed with the 20th anniversary cd, the one in a grey box with 5 postcards. It's a limited edition, and I don't think it's the same mastering they did for the "Shine-on" cd box set. I discovered sounds that I never heard in the original vinyl or cd's.
I had the opportunity of speaking with a friend of a freind, so I'm not sure of the info that Alan Parson followed personally the remastering process for that release, and in the "making of DSOTM" dvd it is confirmed by him.

Yes i know that one, i had it as a present from a former girlfriend.
I never listened to it, as being special for me. Now you gave me a reason to listen to it...
I'll come back on it...

Thnx
