Best of dvd-audio and sacd discs?

I know it's been asked before. The dvd-audio and sacd library has expanded a little bit and more people have had a listen. Some of us are buying the new all-in-one players so we want to know what the best albums are from both dvd-audio and sacd. What are your favourites? Sonically -- out of 10 perhaps? Two-channel vs. multi-channel?

Patricia Barber's 'Night Club' and 'Modern Cool'. Unquestionably the best sound that I have ever heard from a non-vinyl source. You will be stunned.

I second the motion on Midor/Nobuko Imai (violin/viola) Mozart Sinfonia Concetante SACD Sony Classical.

As for DVD-A, so far, the spatial effects are sometimes interesting, while the audio quality is good but not stunning. Try the Bella Fleck disc.

Bucky Pizzarelli's "Swing Live" - DVD-A or SACD, both top notch. "Sacred Feast" (SACD) still has not been surpassed. I am realy enjoying Telarc's "Nice 'n' Easy" in Multi-Channel. In fact, I really like the multi-channel discs a great deal more than hi-res stereo.
