"Title availability has increased dramatically, and now is well over 700 titles..." That's not entirely true.

Latest addition, as it was released today, is José Carreras "Energia" album. Dramatical increase... Well, no comment on that... :)Maybe we should consider double-counts to boost our statistics (if we remember there are stereo/stereo+multichannel/stereo+multichannel+CD-layer/crack-proof/non-crack-proof versions of some SACD's) :)

701 according to HFR, and they're counting DualDiscs, samplers and test discs. So yes, we're over 700, but not by much. :-)> Latest addition, as it was released today, is José Carreras "Energia" album. <
How much do you know about that one? I see the label is "NMO (Alive)" - who/what are they? Also, the disc was produced at Galaxy, so did it come from a DSD source (shudder) or did the SACD start life as PCM?

I think it is quite an ambitious project. José Carreras points out that he sings in a couple of Romance languages he actually speaks (a little bashing of his colleagues here who sing lyrics they do not even understand?) - French, Italian, Català,...The album's songs are arranged with soloists and orchestra plus choirs, most of them best described as a blend of traditional folk song, aria and symphonic music, but quite modern and also including synthesizer sounds.
More information is available on a special website (English version provided, link below). Sound samples are provided by www.jpc.de (go for the CD version).

So PCM is teh most likely source.
