I have added the One Step vinyl version and the SACD to the 8 other versions (Vinyls, CDs, DVD stereo, DD 5.1, Streaming).
This album is not affected by the DSD MOFI problem because it is based on a digital recording.
MOFI does a great job on the mastering, that's what brings the difference in sound between the original versions and the MOFI version.
For the mastering, the graph below compares the spectrum of the original CD version and the SACD MOFI version.We can see corrections in the treble with more than 5 dB difference (yellow zone) and in the bass (green zone).Both versions cut at 22 kHz, which indicates the use of a master with a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz.
Mofi SACD (white) vs Original CD (Blue)
Between the MOFI vinyl and SACD versions, the master between the two versions is not identical.The graph below compares the spectrum of MOFI vinyl and Mofi SACD.There is a small difference in the low frequencies mainly below 100 Hz (green area) and a peak in the high frequencies above 15 kHz of more than 5 dB (yellow area).The yellow arrow also shows the cut-off at 22 kHz.

You will find the samples to listen to in order to get an idea of the differences between the 10 versions and all the measurements (DR, Spectrum, waveform, ...) here
