Yeah, and if you heard DVD-A on Meridian........ Most formats will sound spectacular on $10,000 equipment. I believe that realistic comparisons are made at more affordable levels. But like you said, as long it's enjoyable.
SACD hybrids bad policy from Sony/Columbia?
Just read today that the whole collection of Bob Dylan remasters that were done last year on SACD hybrid are due to be released on CD soon at a much lower price.
To me this defeat the Trojan Horse policy of sneeking SACD's into households where there is no SACD player and maybe encouraging a SACD player purchase at a later date based on the knowledge that the buyer already has SACD's in his collection.
Furthermore when future SACD hybrids come on sale perhaps buyers may now hang off to see if what happened with the Dylan releases is repeated.
Indeed those who wanted the set and are a few short and have no SACD player will be able to but 3 CD remasters for the price of 2 Hybrids.
In terms of marketing SACD I think this a major mistake.
