XRCD vs. SACD anyone?


Last week I got myself a couple of XRCDs and was quite surprised to find how significantly better they sounded vs. my regular cds, including ones which were classified as audiophile cd.

I don't have a SACD player, so I have yet to try out a SACD to find out how they sound. I have a few friends who have tried both XRCD and SACD, and they seem to prefer XRCD.

Does anyone have experience with both, and which format do you prefer?

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Another improved Redbook CD recording method is the JVC 20 bit K2 process. The original CCR LPs have been re-mastered using this process, and they are definitely better than the original CCR CDs. Cheers. Craig
