I have a few SHM SACDs and in general, they sound a little hotter/brighter than other versions of the same material. I'm sure they don't sound like the masters did.
I haven't played any of my SHM CD's for a while, so last night I played my Supertramp Breakfast in America SHM SACD and it sounded bright, as I remembered. Listening to Steely Dan Aja now on SHM SACD and it sounds much better. Still a little on the bright side, but leaning more towards "detailed" than too hot.
