What's this about??? Everything I have heard about the release has led me to believe that both are EXACTLY THE SAME MIXES! Is this not true? I hope it is , because otherwise I'll have to keep both.The mixes are exactly the same from what I have read, and the liner notes indicates that the 5.1 mixes are done by the same person, David Tickle @ Avalon Kaual.
That said, and this might be due to the nature of the DSD mastering, but the DTS CD does sound more aggressive in the rears, and not as natural as the mch mix present on the SACD. I wonder if when they mastered the SACD they cut the gain to the rears a bit so that they don't sound as "loud" as they do on the DTS CD?
I haven't done a close enough comparison to say what the perceived differences might be, but I am relatively sure these are the same mixes - They just have a smoother, more natural quality to them on the SACD.
