One of the feature SACD is 5.0 multi-channel (full frequency, not Dolby surround). If you have a 5-channel amp and 5 full-range speakers and large enough listening room, you are going to create a music hall in your house. I did this and the music image and sound stage is unmatched by 2-channel system. Yes, if you could do SACD, just do it.
SACD or not SACD?
Hej
I have two
DAC:s but just one transport so I thought I'll buy another transport for my head speaker
rig. But then I thought, maybe I should look
for a SACD player instead (have some classical discs with SACD and my interest
for classical music is growing so there will surely be more SACD hybrid
discs).
I've read some reviews of SACD players and the conclusion is always the same;
SACD sounds better than CD. But they always compares SACD vs CD on the same
player. Never the SACD player as a SACD player vs a dedicated CD player with
the same SACD hybrid disc.
And I've even read that some people says that a SACD plays can't read Red Book
properly.
So the question is; how much do I have to spend to get a SACD player that plays
CD:s at least as good as my Cambridge CXC transport paired with LAB12 DAC1 SE or at
least as RME ADI-2 DAC FS? Or maybe a SACD player that would be at least as
good transport as my Cambridge CXC. Yes, I realize that the chance that anyone
have had the chance to compare these combinations are almost none, but...

I know
about mastering, compression and those things but that is another story. I was
talking about comparing the same production as Red Book and as SACD (in my case
hybrid SACD discs). |
Steve Guttenberg has an interesting video on that very subject. I happen to agree with him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSBJKOjBWlc |
