1st SACD Purchase

I just acquired a transport that plays SACDs.  I own a few thousand CDs, but not a single SACD.  So, I want to purchase a SACD to give this transport a run for its money.  Please suggest to me one SACD release that will really expose my transport and the rest of the system to a good test of its capabilities to reproduce quality sounds.  Any genre works for me.

Thanks

Mahler,
Your post caught my interest. Are you playing the sacd in a surround 5 speaker system or just two channel?

For that matter, Anyone else utilizing the only apparent benefit of sacd?

Hi,
multichannel SACD is awsome and most impressive, it was an experience in setting up one with 5 SS-M9ED, 3 TA-E1, 3 TA-N1 with  a XA777ES player. Still benefits of that format are clear in 2 channel.
Two channel.

@recluse.   At first I was playing SACDs in multichannel only.  I ultimately added a Bryston DAC3, so now I can have my Oppo 105 output the DSD layer of SACD over HDMI in my two channel system as well.
