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

@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.

Norah Jones "Come Away With Me" SACD, which should also be listed in the Best Debut Album thread.

By the way, if your player will handle DVD-A, I used to download high-res tracks from HD Tracks and other sources and burn them to DVD-A before I put a Mac Mini into my system.  There are still a lot of  high quality professional DVD-A products available, such as Donald Fagen's "The Nightfly."  (Hah!  It's only $130 on Amazon right now...)  Pink Floyd, Eagles, Clapton, Rush, etc.  Some are surround sound, but there's usually a 2 channel option.
