HYBRID SACD stereo or multichannel.

Can multichannel SACD be played on two channel stereo?
That is, will I get corresponding stereo sound?

Thank you

That possibility made up my mind to give DVD-Audio the big miss. Not all DVD-As work like this though - many have a dedicated stereo section. If that had been the standard, as it is with SACDs, I would have been less biased against the DVD-Audio format. Regards,

I have a stereo system and want the hi-rez format I choose to honour my commitment. SACD does this. I want the mastering engineer to mix the stereo track, and I want them to do the best damn job they can, with the same commitment to quality as I have. The concept of a fold-down offends my purist leanings. Regards,
