What’s the best SACD you’ve ever heard?


I don’t have one yet as I’ve just got everything working correctly here, but I’d be very interested in hearing about your favorites.

Thanks.

Well I'll second the AKUS live SACD (and all other Allison Krauss SACD's for that matter) and would add a couple more:

O'Brother soundtrack, Chicago (the musical) soundtrack and a really odd one - Vultures with Joe Weed. Kind of a bluegrass take on the Ventures surf sound - pristine arrangements of some great old instrumentals 

One last recommendation would be the first Blood Sweat & Tears MFSL release. 




Thanks hifiman5, I will.

mcondo, I’m actually excited to hear that the first BS&T is on SACD.  The vinyl is good but the cd is really noisy.  I’ll be on the lookout for it. 

Thanks.
