In Reply to: Re: Why not choose a universal so you can enjoy SACD as well and of which there are about 3x as many titles nt posted by Soundgarden on April 16, 2004 at 22:41:24:
They don't have a sound room that I know of. Hard to compare since you almost cetainly head different discs, unless it was "Gaucho", "Solar Energy", or "Up" (couple others),I AM NOT saying you are wrong. DVD-A has a very nice sound; I am listening to Ravel's Espagnole on DVDA right now, as a matter of fact. But you might want a better test to se if there is a difference between the two for you; and if the difference is so big that you want to do without SACD capability.
Can I offer a suggestion for the test disc?
Before, you write off SACD, listen IN MULTICHANNEL to "DSOTM". Especially the dynamic range. I don't believe I have ever heard that dynamic range on a CD.

No it was in the high end soundroom. I believe the disc was a sony SACD sampler, mostly jazz. The player was a Sony with Adcom equipment and heard also with B&K equipment. Not saying the sound was bad just thought it would have sounded better. While in their HT room I heard DVD-A with a pioneer player and Denon equipment, and thought the sound was much better then CD although it was in MC. Anyway I'm going today to buy the Panasonic!
