Yes, an excellent job on this Analog to DSD transfer by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound for Acoustic Sounds.
The other two are also excellent. Along with the 3 Roy Orbison albums. Recommended !

They are a bit pricey. They are $15 at highresaudio.com. Need to take my computer overseas to buy them though.

So, if the SACD was $40, should that make it ok for the download to be $35? Downloads are way too expensive considering there is no physical media of packaging involved, which is why I buy them when sales are running. I see SHR has a current sale of 15% off. Will have to think about it.

A matter of opinion. I find the downloads more convenient here. No storing of physical discs, needing to copy the music off the disc, getting the music right from the source tape, etc.
Love it.

And the good news, the SACD isn't $40 - only $30 - for those who choose to spend more money. :)

I have to get this, one of my favorite albums.

It's an excellent album - and transfer from Analog to DSD.
Ditto for the other 2 Duke Ellington Stereo DSD Downloads at Acoustic Sounds.
