First SACD to Listen To?


Despite having been an early adopter of CD's (I still have my Magnavox 650 in storage), I have never listened to an SACD. (I have listened to DVD-A's and was very impressed, but we know what happened to that format.)

My CEC TL-1x/Dodson 218 combo does not play SACD, but I have an Oppo 980h which I understand does. If I were to buy one SACD to get a sense of how that format sounds, which would you recommend? I generally listen to folk rock, some jazz, some classical.

Thanks.

yes, the Beck is awesome. I bought mine for a high price. That is the main thing that turns me off to SACDs, they are very ltd. (or apparently so) and the "ebay" effect drives up the price quickly on oop discs. I am looking for Kraftwerk's Minimum-Maxium SACD (I only have the DTS 5.1 DVD now) and people are selling it for upwards of $400 which I think is way too high for a disc that was selling for $50 just a short while ago.
