SACD started out as a high-resolution 2-channel stereo format aimed at lovers of analog 2-channel sound. It later became a multi-channel format and as less expensive SACD players entered the market it was seen more as a multi-channel rather than a high-resolution format. I do not believe 2-channel Stereo need or should be an after thought. I have lived with both Quadraphonic 4 Channel 7 ½ ips Pre-recorded Reel to Reel tapes and modern day surround sound. I prefer 2-channel stereo not only for music but movies as well. Of all the Digital formats SACD IMHO comes the closest to the ultimate realism of the best analog Reel to Reels and audiophile LPs. Happy listening, Teresa |

| I prefer the physical formats of SACD and DVD-Audio with booklets already printed up and stapled and put into super Jewel cases. Some download sights give you nothing but the music others will give you a PDF of the booklet and cover but NEVER the bottom sheet. Each page of the booklet takes an entire sheet of paper to print and you have to cut to ... more | |

| I believe it is error correction as implimated in standard "pressed" CDs. If I take a regular decent sounding pressed CD such as a Reference Recordings or a Telarc and load it into my MAC Mini using Apple Lossless with NO ERROR CORRECTION and then burn a CD-R it totally blows away the CD version. I tried the uncompressed format AIFF and WAV and ... more | |

| I wish that number was 100% use a SACD or DVD-Audio player. I could never understand the attraction of commercially pressed CDs and I have never liked them. Burned CD-R's are easier to listen to but they are still low resolution and I find cassettes as played on my Nakamichi to outperform either one. SACD does digital right and the powers that be ... more | |

| In defense of samplers may I say there are many recording companies and many composers I will never have discovered were it not for Samplers. Case in point two of my favorite SACD labels DMP and AudioQuest I discovered through Samplers. So I do enjoy Samplers and find them very useful. ... more | |

| All the items on the Sampler are from 2 channel 24 Bit 88.2kHz masters, that is what Reference Recordings was using at the time. When the original CDs were released they were HDCD encoded and that version is on the CD layer. You can thank Naxos Hong Kong for this series as they are taking on the financial risks Reference Recordings was unwilling to ... more | |
