Best sounding SACD's to show-off system

I like to show-off my Wilson Audio W/P6s and Krell 350mcx to friends and try to get them to understand the rush of high-end audio, and I have to some degree, but what SACD's out there that are recorded best! Something that will really make them melt with goose-bumps. Thanks!!

Bob Belden "Black Dahlia" (Blue Note)

Big band jazz, not swinging Basie-style but more soundcolor painting like Gil Evans.

DSD multichannel recording, very natural and dynamic. The best SACD sound I have ever heard.

Jamie Cullum - Twentysomething (2004)

The Police catalog.

The audiophile warrior is Dire Straights Love Over Gold. Standard issue cd which makes it all the better.

Hmm. Funeral for a Friend usually impresses whether sacd or cd. A classic.
