Yeah, very hard to find SACD of anything relatively contemporary.
Maybe we'll just skip over SACD and go right to DVDA.

Get a player that will do both SACD and DVD-A...
Then you don't have to worry about what format they are...

I received the Brothers in Arms CD by Dire Straits today. It is in SACD format. I used my Oppo Dvd player for playback. Frankly I was a bit confused by all that rear "thing" and dont know if I like my music in 5.1. I need to listen to it some more.
To each his own I guess...

Basically, the best thing with the 5.1 for music is that it separates the instruments even more and give you a feeling of sitting in the middle of the band playing.
I don't like that... :laugh:
I like my music to be 2 channel. Some SACDs have a 2 channel option BTW.

Actually, multi-channel music can sound very good. Not all multichannel discs are created equally however. It all depends on the engineers that mix it. I like the Eagles Hotel California in multi-channel as well as stereo. Fleetwood Mac Rumors is another example of multi done right. I have Toto IV on SACD and don't care for the multi channel mix. The stereo is great though. Just because you hear a ****** multi mix doesn't mean you should forget the whole format. Most 2 channel discs sound incredible. Of course this is also dependent on the rest of your system.
