I would like to add that Elusive Disc.com is a great source for SACDs. I have found that the Redbook layer on SACDs to be better than the Redbook only discs. I've assumed that the process in manufacturing the SACDs is better than the Redbook replication process. My favorite SACDs are the two Anne-Sophie Mutter Discs, the Allison Krause discs, and the Al DiMeola disc "Night in San Francisco."
"Must-have" SACDs Out There
I just got a Sony XA-777ES SACD player. I was initially disappointed with the performace. I could not hear much difference between the CD layer and SACD layer on the Sample CD that comes with the player. I went out and bought the "Norah Jones: Comes away with me" SACD and started listening, then I begin to realize the advantages of SACD. As far as I can tell so far, the music is smoother, less harsh, and has a overall quieter background. What else should I be listening to? What are the "must-have" SACDs out there?
