In Reply to: SACD does make a difference posted by onkobo on February 5, 2015 at 22:05:05:
Hmmmm, 10 years ago I owned the Sony SCD-1, Sony's flagship product for promoting their new SACD format.
It wasn't until I replaced it 4 years later that I realized what a sonic POS the SCD-1 was regardless of format.
Moreover, although I can neither confirm nor deny SACD consistent superiority every time, I can confirm that if an SACD recording is an improvement over its PCM counterpart, it's usually marginal.
I've yet to hear any SACD or for that matter any high-rez recording "blows the doors" off its PCM counterpart as some allude to here and elsewhere.
