Depeche Mode: Violator        (0 of 7 found this review helpful)

Yet another reason not to trust sa-cd.net. All the Depeche Mode SACD blow chunks, they have been compressed/EQd to hell. Get the original CDs which have full dynamic range.

No, this is not a good sounding disc. In fact, after owning the original Island CD and MFSL CD this SACD is without a doubt the worst of the bunch. In multiple places, it is harsh and "digital".

Its hilarious how these Depeche Mode SACD have positive reviews on here and all over the web. They are compressed and EQ'd to hell. They sound bloody awful, try listening to an entire album on a set of headphones and you are on the way to hearing loss. The original CDs, while not perfect, are significantly better with full dynamic range. ... more

You must mean the 45 rpm mastered by KEVIN GRAY & Steve Hoffman. Notice how Kevin's name is first as it should be. And I agree the SACD sounds like crap. ... more

Was this recorded analog or digital? In this video a digital file is mentioned, which I assume was the source used for the SACD?... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6R0DSM1DLks ... more
