What do you notice most in regard to SACD vs Redbook of the same title?

74.37.191.38

I notice more dynamics and better HF and upper midrange on SACD. Bass and image are largely the same. This is based on the 20 or 30 titles I have. Some are native DSD some older recordings redone. Regardless, the results while not exact are very similar regardless of the original recordings format. I wish there were more SACD's. Oh well. Probably wouldn't help much with the weird stuff I like anyway...........

- day and night diff between good DSD 6-channel SACDs and CDs - you need to setup right per ITU 16:56:06 07/08/08 (5)

for me it's the entire musical presentation, it is just more real and more relaxed on SACD. - Teresa 17:20:09 07/01/08 (0)
