SS appears to be a little less "pop" in a good way but the encoding it's not the best ever seen. in fact, as per the booklet in the LE, this is NOT a Fidelity joint.

i''m keeping both releases.
Yeah, I don't "seriously" take DVDs as reference for colour timing and I'm not bothered much by (subtle) changes thereof. As I posted earlier, to me the Plaion disc felt slightly too bright. But what I really can't stand is lack of grain retention (in this case apparently due to Second Sight's encode, which is something of a novelty, since their releases usually feature spot-on encodes!), so I'll gladly go with Plaion.
