New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

It depends on the material

Most of the time, if the SACD has a MCH layer, that's where I go. Once you've heard Pink Floyd's DSOTM in glorious 5.1, there's simply no going back - that's the way that disc was 'meant' to be heard! To the detractors who state that they don't like being 'in the band', that is *not* the way that material sounds. Yes, the listener is immersed in sound, but it is *nothing* like being surrounded by four musicians on a stage.

There are a few that don't sound right (whatever I mean by that), and I prefer 2-ch on those. I was really concerned about what classical would sound like in that format, but the MCH classical discs I have do nothing with the rears except add ambience - now a full orchestra 'fits' in my living room.

Consider my vote in favor of MCH. LONG LIVE SACD!!!
