Concord, has been putting out Sack-Dee's for awhile, they ought to know better. What're they gonna do next, release the thing as a DVD-A in an SA-CD case? Daft punks they be!

Aric, it sounds pretty good on my little system in stereo. It's encouraging to have an album of actual newly recorded music put on hi-rez! The recording details are intentionally vague, seemingly. It seems to be a PCM based recording, Protools was used, they credit an engineer for such, anyway's. So, it must not be a DSD original, I think? That's not a problem in my book. It's certainly an eclectic variety. I got it at Busted Buy. Maybe the albums been put in DVD-A slips at some locales? They might just do that to match up the case sizes?

Dave, I like the shorter super jewel cases since they require less shelf space. Also, I've found that even when the cases are bigger they stille use lots of small print, about the same size as usual, most of the time. More importantly, I think formats ought to have a characteristic look. This release has the wrong one. Somebody is likely to post to this thread that they found the SA-CD in with the DVD-A's...? Mine will be stored with my DVD-A's because the shoe fits.

It sounds like SACD is trying to piggy back on the merits of the better format DVD-A!

It sounds like it's 4-20 time at Concord to me Wes. Laugh now, but when the DVD-A comes out in an SA-CD case, you may be annoyed.

Hey, at least we got "Yoshimi" in a normal sized case!
It's not bothered me that DVD-A has an unusual case design, but I do wish there was more consistency in packaging. Basically, I tell my wife that "this shelf of discs play in the DVD-A player, and all those shelves of discs play in the CD/SACD player." So I think that's very helpful for both the average consumer. But consistency is so important, especially for something so new. The possibility of customer confusion is great... just think of the poor slobs who pick this disc up assuming it's DVD-A, and they've probably been further confused by the disc being mis-stocked among the DVD-As (at my local Best Buy, there are many such mis-stocked discs).
