I have heard both and owned both, the hybrid SACD is better and worth the extra $$. The resolution on the hybrid SACD will be a step or two better than the redbook version.
Hugh Masekela – Hope / Should I get the CD or SACD
I just heard this at T.H.E. Show Newport Beach. Problem was I heard it on open real and it was staggering. A friend bought the RedBook CD since and I borrowed it. Can’t believe how good it sounds. I’m wondering if any of you have heard both the RedBook and the SACD and the big question is if the SACD is better, is it worth the 100%+ cost differential? I don’t mind paying the difference if it is a significant step up. Just don’t want to pay the price for a minor overall increase in resolution.
