In Reply to: It should be noted that at least one 2L pairing ... posted by Pete Watt on June 30, 2015 at 21:24:28:
There are a number like that from 2L. But, it is not really a perfect comparison because all 2Ls are recorded in DXD, then that is converted to the 96k or 192k PCM for the BD-As and converted to DSD for the SACD. DXD is, of course, just ultra hi rez PCM. But, this tells us nothing about the differences between a native DSD recording-disc manufacturing chain vs, a PCM equivalent.
A more perfect sonic comparison would be recorded and mastered in pure DSD vs. pure PCM, although downrezzed DXD to PCM should be nearly perfect. That DSD vs. PCM distinction, by the way, is not really important to me and certainly not worth all the acrimonious arguments over the years.
It is clear to me that the 2Ls sound slightly better consistently when played in hi rez PCM, which is closest to their native recorded format. The SACDs may suffer slightly from the format conversion.
Having established that from a number of available dual disc releases, I do not see the point in a continuous stream of new releases that do the same. All it does is drive up the manufacturing and distribution costs for everyone, many of whom have already made the comparison and, like me, are no longer interested in doing more of them.
In any case, all 2Ls are fine recordings and worthy of purchase and playback in either format.
