Back when I was trying to get into SACD...

Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

... most of my SACDs were hybrids. I never really noticed a difference in levels when comparing the CD and SACD layers. I had always assumed that the layers were level matched with some degree of precision because it always sounded that way to me.

That said, I have always considered one of my only single-layer SACDs, John Coltrane's "A Love Supreme", to be the best sounding version of this recording I own. Now I'm wondering if I should go back and re-listen to this recording and all of my other SACDs once again, this time using an SPL meter. Too bad that I no longer own an SACD player.
