Pink Floyd"TDSOTM" SACD:2 ch SACD playback?

Hi
I was wondering if Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon" hybrid SACD has a 2 channel SACD playback.The back cover mentions only 5,1 surround mix.I appreciate if you can submit some info on this.If it doesn't,are there any import alternatives with a 2 ch SACD sound?

maybe I'm dumb, but I recently purchased this SACD and play it in 2 ch exclusively. I sounds great. I think the statement on the back refering to the 5.1 mix is a disclaimer so noone sues them because they can't hear 5.1 from their 2 channel boom box.

btw - I highly recommend it!

All SACD's can play in 2 channel, infact I bet its the way most are played....your player may need set-up to know it will only output tp 2 channels, large speakers, no sub and so-on.

The SACD layer contains both.

It has both 2 channel and 5.1 in DSD (SACD) and a CD layer as well.

The CD layer has been "soft-limited" or clipped in the mastering studio to sound like other typical "hot" CD's (another harsh sounding victim of the CD "loudness wars")

The SACD is good. Guthrie did a great re-mix job there.
