Stephen, the two SACD that I have been listening to the most are The Brandenburg Concertos conducted by Johannes Somary and Spyro Gyra, In Modern Times, both are Multi channell and both are Hybrids. The Spyro Gyra disc in my opinion is one of the best sounding Hi Rez disc I own. I own 50...
Keith, I believe you can access the stereo track by selecting group 2 and then pressing audio. Group 1 is the DVD-A track and group 2 contains the DTS 5.1 and PCM Stereo tracks.
Keith,
I believe you are incorrect when you state that "there is no discrete stereo DVD-Audio track, just a fold-down of the 5.1-channel track". In the audio menu, you can chose between PCM Stereo 96/24, DTS 96/24 5.1 Digital Surround and MLP 5.1 Surround. As to the difference in sound...
Not in order of preference
1 Rebecca Pidgeon: Raven
2 Blood Sweat and Tears
3 Stevie Ray Vaughan: Couldnt stand the weather
4 Stevie Ray Vaughan: Texas Flood
5 Bob Dylan: Blonde on Blonde
Try the FIM XRCD of Flamenco Passion by Gino D'Auri. This disc is exceptional even when compared SACD or DVD-A discs. More traditional than Al DiMeola or Gypsy Kings. [url=http://www.fimpression.com]
Good chance it is from Endangered Species. Its an all acoustic album of previously released material featuring Johnny Van Zandt on vocals. I highly reccomend this disc. You can find it at Compact Disc Connection.

By the way, I appreciate your unbiased posts...
I have a Sony SCD-CE775 SACD player hooked up to an Onkyo TXDS797 receiver via the 5.1 inputs and the analog two channel inputs for the CD player and also digitally with an optical input. My receiver has 192/24 DAC for all channels. What happens to the signal if I listen to an SACD in Pro Logic...
