Blue Train, SACD or DVD-A

I can't say on this title but in a recent A-B comparison with the Michael Oldfield Tubular Bells the DVD-A mix was quite different in mix than the SACD but I thing the SACD sounded more natural and the DVD-A sounded more "effect oriented"
My vote would lean towards the SACD

I have the Classic Records DAD 24/96 version and it's excellent. If you're into JC, and can find a copy grab it.

I was at AES show recently (Audio Engineering Society) and there they announced, and I saw the first non-Sony full DSD recording system, called 'Sonoma'. Many engineers were very curious, as there was seemingly a buzz around the direct DSD system that could now be purchased outside the Sony's grip. The pro-toolsHD system that is commonly used for high-def recording among a few others is the competition, but uses PCM architecture. The new sonoma system is a good indication that SACD/DSD could get a shot in the arm in the 'everyman can record with it' sense. - There are just to many curious engineer/producers/musicians that'll want to try the new (multitrack DSD) system!

I have the SACD version of this disc and think it sounds great. I cannot speak to the DVD-A version though.
