This is really nothing new, Chris Tam did articles on this a few years ago for Audioholics if I remember correctly.

Tham most certainly did not do DBTs of SACD vs Redbook in her Audioholics articles. CD vs SACD DBTs, carried out to this extent, and published, is new.

Tham's dynamic range comparisons of CD, SACD, and LP, while methodologically problematic, do clearly illustrate that significantly different mastering of CD and SACD can occur in commercial releases. She wasn't the first to notice this, either. The most famous instance was probably the th etwo layers of the Dark Side of the Moon SACD hybrid, as revealed in Stereophile.

Without very good evidence that the SACD and CD versions were mastered identically except for format, any claims about the sound of SACD vs CD made from such comparisons, is suspect at best and useless at worst.

  Is anyone claiming that she did?

  I would agree.
