what is the diff with SACD and HDCD ??

Pacific Microsonics HDCD is a 20 bit CD format also compatible playing on 16 bit redbook players (but without decoding the extra resolution). It's a wonderful system because these decoders make even 16 bit CD's sound better when played through them. The HDCD's don't cost $25 each either. PC audio has even recently adopted the standard. Comparing the same recording on redbook vs. HDCD is just no comparison; the added resolution, air & dynamics make this choice a no brainer.

doens't the SACD goes from 0HZ to 44KHZ ??
i think i read that somewhere..
but doesn't our ears only get from 23-24HZ+ to 22KHZ ?

What do you think about SACD multichannel ?
does it really helps with the reproduction of the music ?
What is presently the BEST for music quality ?

talking digital,vynil ...

I also will not ever buy SACD and anytging that plays it -- costly and not everything you can get in this format. HDCD is almost like a regular red-book CD: could be worse and could be better depending on the recording quality. There is an actual possibility to comapre HDCD with regular one by buying Dire Straits "Love Over Gold" album that had been remastered for HDCD format. HDCD certainly sonds much better. Also there are few more albums from Dire Strats had been remastered to HDCD. My collection of Dire Straits (average price is $3 for each record) is analogue and no HDCD can beat it! Analogue vinyls and turntable are my SACDs and SACD-player!

Maybe your dogs ears go to 22Khz, but if your over 20, you probably don't go much past 16 Khz. HDCD is an excellent attempt to get superior sound with a minimum of extra cost. Unlike XRCD and SACD, they cost the same as regular CDs. There are many at $11.99 list. Also HDCD discs sound betteron non HDCD players because the HDCD A/D conversion is superior.

ok
