At least The Cowboy Junkies were a band of some repute. How 'bout poseur jazz, the recording made at a club opening with a clarinet and glasses tinkling in the background...we all know the one :)

don't remember growing up in the 80s/90s thinking if only i could see the Junkies live

the Junkies were a huge step forward when you consider Amanda McBroom and Radka Toneff records were it around that time. Two other records from that period in heavy rotation: Paul Simons Graceland and Tracy Chapman's eponymous record. The same demo cuts, no matter which dealer, over and over and...the thought of blowing one's brains out came to mind. Thank god for Qobuz.

a DAT recorder is 24 bit, either 44 or 48 khz. so the max high rez you will find for Trinity Sessions is 24/48 on Quboz.

No DAT recorder was ever 24 bit. Tascam briefly made a 20 bit DAT recorder at the tale end of that era, but that was long after The Trinity Sessions.

Regardless of the medium, The Trinity Sessions is nice sounding. A "reference" recording? Maybe not, but if you like the music it's great; if you are luke-warm or less interested in the music, the sound quality alone is probably not good enough for it to entice you to pull the CD or LP off the shelf.

What about the S/N ratio?

you have to consider they used an Ambisonic Soundfield mic which has a higher intrinsic noise floor than a usual stereo array. Some history here: Rode NT-SF1

The original 1st press Canadian RBCD is the best version of Trinity, the 45 rpm vinyl by Classic Records is less good IMO.

My point is the noise floor of this recording is through the roof.
 
Never heard of Trinity Sessions before. Glad that I don’t qualify as an audiophile.
