Oh, and Mobile Fidelity has issued a lot of The Band's albums on SACD. The 2nd album ("brown") sounds the best, and is many people's favorite musically. If you like that one, get the 1st (Music From Big Pink) next.
Which SACDs?
I recently acquired an Oppo BDP105. I primarily use it for its DAC and to play CDs. It will play SACDs.
I do not have any SACDs and I don’t really intend to collect SACDs.
But I wouldn’t mind having a few just to see what they’re like. So I’m looking for recommendations for a few must-have SACDs.
I’m into rock. Dire Straits, Police, Floyd, Steely Dan, Rush, Knopfler. A little classical. A tiny bit of jazz. But, I'm open to almost anything that is sonically pleasing.
I’m assuming Aja, DSOTM, Brothers In Arms, Wish You Were Here will be on the list. What else?
What is a good source for SACDs?
What are the chances I’ll be able to tell the difference between SACD and CD? (The rest of my system is Aerial Acoustics 6B towers. Madrigal Proceed HPA2 amp, AR LS-16 tube pre-amp).
I do not have golden ears.
Thanks,
George
