SACD

Nice score- which player did you purchase?

SACD, as a medium, has a strong Classical music catalog. Jazz titles as well.
For smooth Jazz, check out Bob James 'Espresso'.
For classical- start with your fave composer. 
I am a big fan of SACD with around 200 titles in my collection.
Have fun and enjoy the Music!

Happy Listening!

Here's an excellent 10 - SACD box set: Mahler Symphonies 1 - 9 Valery Gergiev/London Symphony LSO0730. Recorded live! I have it in my collection!

Congrats if your system is revealing you should notice a big improvement. Pure SACD recordings are best, but a lot of music is hybrid, meaning the music is available on those discs in multiple layers. The deeper layers MAY not play back as clearly as one would like

I went thru the same thing, finally tried SACD, including new SACD versions of some I already owned, i.e. Oscar Peterson,

already owned this non sacd version

some (all?) are hybrid, (standard and sacd versions same disc), like this Billy Joel, but you need to have control of your player to keep it from automatically playing the SACD version, or, use your old player to hear the standard version, new player for SACD version.

Eventually, concentrated comparisons, I decided the difference was lowering the noise beyond dark dark dark dark gray to black if that makes any sense. Music from nothingness. When not concentrating, not listening for that, there is no readily apparent difference, I stopped buying them.

So, don’t leap in, you might find the difference so slight, and taking too much concentration to hear the difference that is actually detrimental. buy a few, of discs you already own, or two layer ones that can play either CD or SACD quality.

you may hear differences that escape me.

after all is said and done, I stopped buying CD’s, I buy LP’s! A good clean used LP sounds better than CD or SACD, and I properly clean my many old ones now.
