I've been ordering SACD's like crazy now that I have a full SACD set-up including Multi-Channel capability.
I've been very impressed with the James Taylor sacd's. Both JT and Hourglass sound fantastic even in multi-channel.
Also the Miles Davis sacd Kind Of Blue is very nice.
Tubular Bells is excellent!
Today I put on Billy Joel's The Stranger and Alice In Chains Greatest Hits[/i] on sacd multi.
Both sound have pretty poor multi mixes. The Alice In Chains disc is particulary bad. It sounds very shrill. I know the music is very good, I wonder what went wrong in the DSD transfer.
This area (Multi) is where DVDA still holds a sizable lead as far as Rock titles go. I wonder if the Alice In Chains had been released as a DVDA would it sound better?
Next I'll throw in the Jeff Beck sacd Blow By Blow and Carole King's Tapestry, both have multi mixes.
