1st SACD Purchase

I just acquired a transport that plays SACDs.  I own a few thousand CDs, but not a single SACD.  So, I want to purchase a SACD to give this transport a run for its money.  Please suggest to me one SACD release that will really expose my transport and the rest of the system to a good test of its capabilities to reproduce quality sounds.  Any genre works for me.

Thanks

HI,
Has 2 layers, one SACD and one CD, so you can reproduce on both formats.

Hi,
multichannel SACD is awsome and most impressive, it was an experience in setting up one with 5 SS-M9ED, 3 TA-E1, 3 TA-N1 with  a XA777ES player. Still benefits of that format are clear in 2 channel.
Two channel.
