Home Hi-Rez Highway

New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

I agree, good vinyl is seductive (so is good music)

but good multi-channel hi-rez audio trumps vinyl. Of course few people have audiophile quality multi-channel audio systems. Most folks just have mediocre to good home theater systems, which usually shows that multi-channel is superior to stereo on these systems, but these good HTS are generally not up to par with good audiophile stereo systems.

The biggest problem I have with SACDs is the lack of albums in genres other than classical. For instance I have at least eight Bob Marley LPs but you won't find this great artist on any SACD. However you can get one of his albums in 24/192kHz resolution from HDTracks.

Both Reference Recordings and Acousence Records have albums in both SACDs and vinyl formats that can be compared. They both also have 24/176.4 and 24/192kHz digital formats for comparison.
