I concur with Toncr6:
Redbook vs the same SACD, the you-are-there at the studio/hall illusion is better with SACD (DSD).
And yes Dweller, differences are more & less pronounced with different equipment. Imagine that, different equipment produces different results?!
Yes I can hear the difference. A well recorded and mastered SACD sounds better than a well recorded and mastered cd. I hear more depth to the soundstage and a sense of ease or flow with SACDs, for instance. There are cds that sound better than poorly done SACDS though.
