I really do not understand what the purpose of this thread is. I have great capability to play LPs, cds, sacds, dvdvs, and dvdas. I certainly do not have every performance in all of these formats and no intension, even were they available, to have everything in multiple formats. I find LPs superior when everything is perfect but a major pain in the ass. I have had an enormous improvement in the quality of my cd performance thanks to modern dacs and clean power. Now I could listen to cds exclusively. I have found sacds to sound more realistic than cds with a considerably better sense of the sound stage, but with less dynamics (XRCD24 clean their clocks). I thought that few if any dvdas were worth having, but system improvements have shown some are excellent. I am not looking for a victor in the format wars and just enjoying what is available. I will continue to buy sacds when they become available.
sacd,vinyl, and rebook....
Just to echo some common remarks:
"sacd is like vinyl without the clicks and pops"
"sacd is a marginal improvement, if any, over redbook"
"sacd is a smoke and mirrors ht campaign designed for multi-channel use and copyright protection agendas"
at any rate...which of the above best describes this format?
