An SACD question

I specifically look for SACDs. I only have a digital front end, but I prefer them over redbook CD almost universally. What's more of a toss up is the uber expensive SHM SACDs over the normal issues. Some are better, some so much so it warrants the extra $s, some the other way.

I find the SHM cds universally superior.

Good point Mrtennis,, I use Audio Research's latest greatest DAC ( DAC8 ), the sound is not like SACD in many ways but it is very good. I hate to say it's analog like, as those terms get used far to loosely, but the sound is far beyond using the CD player ( Ayre C5exMP ) by itself.
The need to have music on SACD also lessens when I consider the higher cost and that many of the SACD's I own sound no better than there red book counterparts.

Well at least this thread insipred me to go SACD shopping. Picked up 5 x 2L Nordic disc releases, 2 Channel Classics, and threw in one Jazz release for good measure. Some of this stuff is rediculously cheap ($10 + $3 shipping on Amazon market for a 2L release).

Still buying and plan on continuing to do so.

Enjoy!
