SQ of "Rock of Ages" on CD


Has anyone compared the SQ of various versions of this classic on CD?

On my system, the redbook layer of MoFi's hybrid SACD is not an enjoyable listen. 

Thanks!

2xCD no DVD is my recollection….but it has been several weeks since i was in there……. i am guessing they have 50-100K CD’s……

The Academy of Music set arrived yesterday. I’ve only listened to a few tracks.

Compared to the MoFi, what I’ve noticed so far are an improved, overall sense of immediacy that you’d expect from a live show coupled with improved resolution/separation.

At the same time, the presentation is a bit bright on my system. It’s certainly not enough to be described as fatiguing but it’s there. However, the Schiit Lokius pretty well compensates for this.

For reference, my system:

Jay’s Audio CD2 MKIII transport

Aqua La Voce S2 DAC

Hegel H390

Silverline SR 17.5 monitors

Cables by Audio art and Acoustic Zen

Schiit Lokius

Seems to me the MofI is a waste of $. As time goes on, I’m afraid I’m becoming increasingly cynical about MoFi’s hybrids due to their inconsistency.
