Kiwi,
A friend of mine has the excellent sounding Modwright OPPO-95 CD/SACD player.His system is VAC preamp,Phi 300,1 monos and Siltech cables. Lately we`ve been compararing a number of same recordings(jazz) in Cd vs SACD format.Many of the AAD or ADD redbook do sound better in the sense of more natural and realistic.A few SACDs were better but most just seem more 'hifi' in presentation.I agree with your impressions.
Regards,
