SHARE YOUR SACDs THAT SOUND FANTASTIC!!

I am starting this thread at someone’s suggestion, and it was a VERY good suggestion!  Share the title, artist, and the SACD issuing company of really good sounding SACDs you've spent some time with.

I’ll get the ball rolling...

"WHITES OFF EARTH NOW!" by The Cowboy Junkies: MoFi.  Unfortunately, out of print, but I wouldn’t bat an eye at paying a hundred bucks for a copy due to the music and the sonics.  In my opinion, it sounds better than "Trinity Sessions".

"THE GIRL IN THE OTHER ROOM" by Diana Krall: Verve.  Coming up with the second was harder than the first because there are many to choose from.  This SACD is warm, palpable, punchy, dimensional, with truth of timbre in spades.  Very intimate sound.  As a system becomes more transparent, so does this disc, seemingly without end.

I won’t share any more because I don’t want to be an SACD hog.  LET’S HEAR ’EM!!

I won’t mention any specific SACD, but I will state that the best sound I have in my system was playing SACD’s on a demo Meitner MA3i DAC.

I always find that disks sound better than streaming. I have very good fibre optic streaming and have owned some good ones, such as a Playback Design Stream-IF, Lumin X1, and the original Sonore OpticalRendu. The SACDs on the Meitner MA3i takes top spot over streaming for sonics.

At the moment, I am listening to a Stones Hot Rocks SACD disk on a cheap OPPO, GeerFab D.BOB, and a RME ADI-2 DAC. Very low cost, and even in this setup there is a fullness to the sound of the disks that is greater than streaming.

I love streaming and it is my main way to listen but am glad I kept my old disks.

I bought a few SHM cds recently and was impressed, through my Esoteric player.
