Systems voice such high resolution these days, you really want to have an expanded go to list.

List what you believe are some good audiophile recordings, I will in a bit.

Anything from Lyn Stanley. Same for Patricia Barber, my current player don't have an indicator but I know Modern Cool is HDCD.
I think we can agree anything on the Reference Label.
Ozone Percussion Group, an album called Labomba, not to be confused with Richie Valens. At first this was a show off disc playing Jazz Variants with huge drums that on the right system will be quite a treat, now I enjoy the entire album.
Paula Cole is HDCD, the first track, later into the song has a wave of low end bass that makes it a good test track.
Concord Jazz sampler 2 on SACD is a stand out for me, excellent tracks, artists and a good variety of top performers. There's a live Ray Brown that is outstanding, his bass is recorded well, he is soloing an intro, then a cellphone goes off, Ray don't miss a beat, you hear the audience laugh, the band kicks in about then. There's a lot of background detail, things I mentioned already, some spots of clapping along, a fan calls out Ray's name and the like. They aren't a distraction from the music, just good things to listen for, how the system is able to bring it out.
I have just an original LP of The Police, Synchronicity, I feel is very good. It's something I'll grab when I want to show my system to someone not into the above type music.

I'll quit for now, I want to let others post to get a feel for where this is going.
 
Agree with Patricia Barber. I ripped Modern Cool from a Blueray Audio disk, and it is great. In fact, I will go out on a limb and state almost all, if not all, of my female jazz singers CDs are in the good recording bucket.

This will be a difficult thread to keep going, as it is very subjective, and will tend to reflect the listener’s preference.

Let me add that the 44/24 download of The Pale Emperor by Marilyn Manson is much better than the CD.
 
I know the ARC 6 and 10 are solid This will be a difficult thread to keep going, as it is very subjective, and will tend to reflect the listener’s preference.

Maybe, and it may need to be broken up into Vinyl,Disc and Stream - in the end I like to really have a built up audiophile selection - it helps me know the money I spent has a purpose

Any ideas?

Any downloads from the 2xHD and Wilson Audio Recordings catalogue, Speakers Corner and MoFi reissues are usually great for vinyl.

Kitaro - The Journey of Ku-Kai. Mine is on CD. This would also be a killer headphone album.

As newer Rock albums go, I thought Three Days Grace - 1X has good sound.

Every, and I do mean every, Music Matters’ reissue of Blue Note albums, whether 45rpm or 33. The best reissues in terms of sound and pressing quality I’ve heard. They explain on their website in detail the meticulous approach they take to selecting titles for reissue. If all my favorite music was reissued on vinyl to this level, it would be extremely difficult to resist buying them all.

Totally agree! I have them all!
