First SACD to Listen To?

Despite having been an early adopter of CD's (I still have my Magnavox 650 in storage), I have never listened to an SACD. (I have listened to DVD-A's and was very impressed, but we know what happened to that format.)

My CEC TL-1x/Dodson 218 combo does not play SACD, but I have an Oppo 980h which I understand does. If I were to buy one SACD to get a sense of how that format sounds, which would you recommend? I generally listen to folk rock, some jazz, some classical.

Thanks.

Thanks all. I do have both Dark Side of the Moon and Beck's Sea Change on CD and they might be the ones to try on SACD to hear a fair comparison. I recognize the Oppo may not be the best SACD player, but it will have to do for now.

Patricia Barber "Cafe Blue," Diana Krall "The Girl in the Other Room," or Ryan Adams "Hartbreaker" are all superb sounding SACD's.

Wow!!! Thanks for heads-up on "Sea Change" (SACD) guys. I'm listening to it for the first time as I write. Not cheap these days but well worth every penny.
