My latest purchase, Berlioz Requiem on RCA Living Stereo SACD. Should arrive soon. Have 13 of these RCAs now and not been disappointed yet.

The RCAs are superb-I agree completely. Do you have the Earl Wild disc with Fiedler?

Not yet. Would buy them all at once if I could. But a three year old and another child on the way has a way of re-prioritizing your expenditures.

Rachael, the big disc cat! I used to be looking for Hi-Vision Laserdiscs & D-Theater tapes, now I'm looking for HD-DVD's and Blu-rays.
I survived the AFI top 100 Film Challenge! I've seen them all.

So is the Black and White mix from a PCM master or DSD? Since this mix is from the original analog tapes you would think the engineer would do an analog to PCM mix and a separate analog to DSD mix.
Who knows? If it is transferred twice to the two recording formats I wonder which one sounds the best? The PCM surround mix is 24/96 (from 24/192 masters?), and the SA-CD consumer version is, of course, 1 bit/2.8 MHz (some DSD workstations use a modified multi-bit DSD converter with 5.6 MHz sampling and there was a rumor on the AVS Forum that an improved DSD version may have been added to the Blu-Ray specs.).
Hmmm...

Interesting! If you don't mind, drop another line if you hear of more developments on that front, Dan.

This is also being reported in a British hifi journal according to Ole Lunc Christensen as well.

Now that I've got a universal DVD player (Yamaha DVDC750), I picked up my first two SACDs, both hybrid CD and 2/5.1 channel SACD:
- Godsmack's "The Other Side"
- Ludacris' "Chicken N Beer"
I'm very impressed with the Godsmack, it sound wonderful. The Ludacris I'm not so sure about just yet but it may grow on me.
Also not sure if I mentioned but a while back I picked up Moist's best-of collection "Machine Punch Through" on DVD-A. Very good 5.1 mix done by Jeff Martin of The Tea Party, applied to a decent collection of Moist tracks. Good sonics.

Scott,
Where did you get Bat Out of Hell in 5.1 surround? I thought it was only a stereo SA-CD.
Thanks!
Dan
