SHARE YOUR SACDs THAT SOUND FANTASTIC!!

If I echo previous suggestions, I apologize.  I have a PS Audio PerfectWave SACD Transport, connected via HDMI (I²S) to a PS Audio DirectStream DAC MKII, which unfold for playback the highest resolution SACD layer to DSD64.  Wonderful sound.

My Discogs database says I have 178 SACDs.  Most are MoFi and Analogue Productions remastered reissues, many are which are out-of-print and therefore spendy.  Of all I have, the Doors SACD box is great, as are the Hendrix "Are You Experienced?" and "Axis: Bold As Love," all on Analogue Productions.  The label also offers Steely Dan, Beach Boys, Genesis, et al.

MoFi's are great, be it Dylan, The Band, Joni, Miles, CSN & Crosby's first solo, etc.

As for classical, sets on Alla Vox, Chandos, Sony, Channel Classics, BIS, and RCA Red Seal reissues are worth pursuing. 

My experience has been similar, but somewhat different than others. On my system, in my room, all SACDs do not sound the same. Some sound a little better than standard "Red book" CDs, others sound significantly better.

The best sounding SACDs in my collection, in no particular order are:

Dire Straits

Steely Dan

Depeche Mode

Mannheim Steamroller

Duran Duran

The Police

Supertramp

Michael Jackson

Cat Stevens

James Taylor

Chris Isaak

Mike Oldfield Tubular Bells

Pretty much any jazz or classical release

I'm sure there are others in my collection, but I can't recall them...

Anyhoo, you're pretty much guaranteed to get better sound with any SACD, from a fairly small difference, to an OMG difference, compared to the standard CD.

i have read critics that will complain about SACDs not sounding as good as CDs or LPs, such as Tom Fine, whose parents created Mercury Records and who is now a regular contributor to Stereophile.  I couldn’t disagree more with him.  For example the Paul Paray Charbier disc has much more presence in the Mercury SACD that was issued over 20 years ago.

As a big supporter of SACDs over more than 20 years I feel they are being left behind with Blu-ray taking the torch . Don't know what led to this but new re-masters are all being issued on Blu-ray.

To be honest I really like the Blu-ray versions. Even the 96k versions sound good and the 192k versions are special. 

I’ve got to say any recording by Steely Dan sounds fantastic on any format, bc they paid attention to that when they recorded their albums. Even my old Can’t Buy a Thrill album from college days still sounds great. SACD might almost be overkill.
