SACD Player--Finally


I finally have done it. Get my new multi player next week. I have oodles of cds. I'm a jazzman, but listen to everyting from Mozart to Kitaro. What SACDs must I have? From your first hand listening experience which SACDs were a true step above redbook? Help get me started..thanks in advance. peace, warren :)

Having listened to only three of the SACDs I own, I'm so (purchased them weeks ago as they came up on Ebay) impressed with the sound that I'd love to snap my fingers and turn all my Redbooks into SACDs. Not vinyl, but the closet any digital in my rig has gotten. Since I am a tyro at the SACD game, I have read that many SACDs are no great shake. It appears that an SACD is no guarantee of wonderful sound. I'm just lucky with my three, I suppose. Thanks for the tips. I'll check some of those babies out. BTW anyone have experience with the SACD Kind of Blue?

Cannonball Adderly quintet Live in San Francisco - Anyting by Bill Evans -- Kind of Blue, of course -- In a Silent Way.
The Nightfly: Grant you are dead on. Are all DVD-As this great? I'm listening as I type. Brings out the best in my rig...
I heard Sony has or will soon stop making anything SACD (software & hardware). Any one know anything about this?
Warran, Mostly the newly recorded stuff (pure DSD) is well recorded. I would look up opinions online to make sure which ones are good and bad. There are websites that will review the quality. Some are no better than redbook, so don't assume they'll all be good. It's worth it though for the great sound DVD-A and SACD produce.
