Can SACD's be played in ony 2 channel format

I would have thought SACD's would sound better than traditional 16 bit record players/recordngs, but according to the this particualr fellow it doesn't seem so. Except below 10k.

What are your thoughts.

they just don't understand what's really important when it comes to audio resolution but at least their hearing is 100% OK.

see the below quote from the article:

"The SACD recordings from Jan-Erik Persson at Opus3 are far superior to everything released from DVD-A."

IMHO, such blanket statements of absoluteness are rarely correct.

Opus3 SACDs are fine. Just wish the music was more to my taste.

You need to pay more attention to the last sentence. The frequency range below 10K corresponds to 9 of the 10 octaves of human hearing (and the vast majority of musical energy). So even if you accept what he says as true it is possible to draw very different conclusions.

I have a Denon 2910. Put it in pure direct mode for all your 2 channel listening - it'll play SACDs into 2 channels. You'll see a 2 speaker icon on the unit when you hit display. In the Super Audio CD Setup, select "Stereo" (as opposed to Multi or CD). I too only have a few but the SACD sound is wonderful. (hope I'm understanding your question correctly).
