SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel


Are they the same? Is one superior? Are they system dependent?

SACD two channel is superior to redbook two channel.

You do not need multi-channel to enjoy SACD. I have had
multi-channel SACD players like the Sony SCD XA 777ES
and now I have the Emm Labs Dac6, but I listen to them in
two-channel and it sounds great. I'm not a fan of multi-channel
when I listen to music -- I use my 5.1 system for movies only.
The superiority of SACD comes through very clearly in two-channel.
Redbook CD is the format that came out in the early 80's. SACD is a different format which is much higher resolution, and actually sounds good. So it has little in common with redbook CD! CDs can be played in an SACD player, but SACDs cannot be played in a standard CDP.

"Two channel" is merely indicating that is was designed to be used only in a stereo mode.

Unless I missed the mark AGAIN this is what you were looking for, was I wrong?
Nrchy, thanks for the info, but I was referring more to the quality of the sound. Rsbeck is in the ballpark. My question, rephrased, is, all things being equal, what are the differences between 2 channel SACD and 2 channel redbook when it comes to the sound? Does the 2 channel SACD provide a better stereo reproduction than 2 channel redbook? In other words, you have two version of the same music; one on audiophile quality redbook and another on SACD and both are played in 2 channel. Will they sound the same or will one be superior to the other?

I have no interest at this time with a multi-channel setup; however, if SACD will deliver a better 2 channel experience than 2 channel redbook, I would like to go in that direction.
