When is Wish You Were Here going to be SACD


Or Mark Knoffler,

Thanks

I have to second Ben Campbell, the longbox gold WYWH is as good as any I've heard, to my ears anyway it was the best sounding between it and the Shine On version.

Proy, have you tried the XRCD of Brothers in Arms? That is as good as you'll get if you want a great Mark Knopfler recording, though I do agree that an SACD or DVD-A of either of these artists, as well as those mentioned by Mark7767 are long past due!
Zep have already released a disc on DVDA -I don't know if this means they'll stick with DVDA.
DSOM on SACD was a wash out for me too-the biggest strength of this release apparently was the multi-channel mix.
I don't want to get caught up on the SACD/Redbook controversy again but even pro-SACD Audiogoners have found the odd hybrid better on the Redbook layer with older recordings.
Also there are those who do not rate SACD unless the disc was recorded in DSD and obviously these old rock masters weren't.
I suppose you shouldn't underestimate the effect some more major SACD releases would bring but it is a contentous area as to how good these releases actually are.
I'd like to qualify my last line because I mean if SACD does actually bring a major advantage over the CD layer on hybrids.
Most of the hybrids I have heard (DSOM excluded)show a big advantage over their previous incarnations/mastering on CD and are excellent.

As always trust your own ears.
