I take it you are not a fan of streaming then.Lost count of how many version there are now. I I have the blue-ray audio version which I think was 24/96... and sounds fine. No need to buy it all over again!
One of these days I'll get round to listening to a Wagner opera all the way through...
Until then, I'm with Rossini: "Wagner has lovely moments, but awful quarters of an hour"
I have the ADD release remastered in 1997 (I have not heard the 1984 CDs). It's a very good performance and if Stereophile is to be believed [1] this later re-mastering reduces hiss well without revealing or introducing any unfortunate content.Quite annoying this, when they introduced the last one (2012) they said the tapes were damaged beyond repair so they had to go back to the previous master (1997) and improve on it using the latest noise reduction tools - apparently now they are usable (with a bit of baking in the oven). Haven't heard new sample (I don't really do streaming either) but I think it's pretty good as it is although I prefer the original CD issue (1984?) with tape hiss. I like tape hiss! Although I'm sure most experts will tell you the original LPs sound the best.
It's also available from 16 December on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BC9YKQ7Q/?tag=pinkfishmedia-21Wow ! The price is eye-watering ! £68,- at Presto for two SACDs for Das Rheingold. https://www.prestomusic.com/classical/search?search_query=rheingold solti
192KHz seems to put an insupportable strain on my wi-fi signal
While it works... there is definitely more detail available and the sound is more "impressive" than before... whether it is more satisfying is another matter altogether - some loss of sheer weight? (I'm going purely by the Funeral March, given my allergy to sopranos).
Don't buy the download of Die Walkure from Presto Music for the moment - it hasn't been tagged.Das Rheingold now available to stream on Qobuz.
