Barb, I sincerely can't understand what SACD of this title you are writing about. Are you sure you are reviewing the SACD of this, or is it some DSD mastering of it on CD? I've got the JSACD of this title - the only version I know exists on this format - and it must be one of the most dynamic SACDs ... more

Linn downloads - SACD quality?
July 26, 2007
None. Why? Quality wise I would go for 24/96 lossless, but I would not pay that price ($25) for it. BTW, 96/24 WAV files (you would have to convert them from WMA) can be easily authored for DVD-V with the program DVD Audio Creator. Oops! Just noticed it had been mentioned before. For those that asked: a DVD-V with a 96/24 LPCM stereo track ... more
