My listening setup involved the DSD layer played via Foobar2000 + USB connection + FiiO M23 (featuring AKM AK4191EQ and AK4499EX DACs) + 4.4mm balanced output + Focal Clear MG open-back headphones.

I compared the MoFi DSD version with the September 1987 CD release, which, for me, remains the digital benchmark from that era.

The album Bad was recorded digitally using Mitsubishi recorders (x-86,x-850)—see the photo featuring QJ, MJ, and BS.

First, setting aside the magnetic tape imperfections previously mentioned by iSebitas, every track on the MoFi DSD version of Bad offers authentic, natural sound reproduction. There is excellent precision in the airiness of MJ’s falsetto which takes on a flute-like quality combined with a very smooth vocal texture.

The instruments are more easily identifiable and coordinated, they interweave and resolve with precision. Keyboard attacks are easily distinguished, rising and falling in step with the sonic atmosphere. The extensive use of the Synclavier and DX synthesizers is breathtaking... A real treat for the ears. The sound effects on the tracks are realistic, especially in "Speed Demon" and "Smooth Criminal." The layering of MJ’s backing vocals on "Liberian Girl" and "Leave Me Alone" recorded on the Mitsubishi digital 32 multitrack (x-850) is magical.

While the sound of the 1987 CD version of Bad can seem harsh, cold, and compressed, the AKM DAC in the FiiO M23 softens that harshness, bringing out the lively, airy quality of the MoFi DSD version.

By comparison, for me, the MoFi DSD version is a 97% faithful reproduction of the digital master tape. Thanks to DSD technology, the sound reproduction of the album Bad is elevated to a new level.
