CD vs SACD in STEREO


I started to listen to SACD to enjoy the 5.1 format. 

I thought SACD is exclusively used for that purpose.

Today read discussion about sound quality of new/modern/ "better" CD vs Streaming vs vinyl vs SACD, where the SACD apparently was referrung to STEREO SACD. 

On a 'numbers' basis, what is the difference between CD and SACD (assume same player, etc)?

Was that Wand recording on DG?  I have been disappointed with some DG recordings that have been reissued in SACD or Blu Ray

Both the CD and SACD are RCA.

Recorded 18 and 20 September 1998 at the Philharmonie (according to Discogs).  

I encountered very few RCA SACDs.  I have a few of the Zinman Mahler discs and thats it.  I do have the Wand in CD, haven’t played it for years 

eBay lists those Wand Bruckner SACDs for around $40, when the shipping is factored in

Yes, you are on the right track, as above.

 

Happy Listening!
