Experience with XRCDs


Does anyone have experience or opinions on the JVC XRC process. I researched Audiogon and found a lot of older posts, but because I’m new to XRCDs I thought this may be a good topic. I bought an XRCD just to see how they sound, Aaron Neville “Warm Your Heart.”  All I can say is WOW! The recording is smooth, clear and detailed, lots of bass..I’m so impressed because I’m a SACD collector and all I can say is that SACDs sound a touch thinner, not in a bad way. The XRCD however is polished, full, with a clarity thats just well “wonderful “. What are your thoughts? Is this an attribute of XRCDs in general or just the album in general. Thanks for sharing.

Have several, XRCD and XRCD 2, the sound quality is excellent.

"I was expecting prices to come down, but they’re still expensive."  Agreed, even worse when you convert to Canadian .
