When is Wish You Were Here going to be SACD

Be careful with "new" SACD releases of rock/pop albums! Many use a 16 bit digital master, so you are essentially buying a regular redbook CD encoded in bit stream SACD! The best sounding WYWH that I have heard is the copy from the "Shine On" box set released in 1990(?). This copy is FAR SUPERIOR to the Jap. CD pressing. Also, I compared "THE WALL", on gold MoFi CD, with the aluminum CD, again, from the "Shine On" box set. The "Shine On" pressing ws the clear winner. MoFi CD's, in my opinion, were hit or miss! Some sound great; others are disappointments. I have 4 Elton John MoFi CD's: Tumbleweed, Honky Chateau, Goodbye Yellow Brick Rd., and Madman. The first 3 sound great, but Madman is a sonic turd!!! And Madman is one of the more expensive MoFi CD's!

Fatparrot-there are 3 versions of WYWH that are better than the Shine On version imho.I have 4 different versions of the CD and one part version.
The gold Sony/Columbia version in the long slip case.
The '95 newer remaster (Shine on Was about '93 if I remember right)on EMI.This was also released in mini vinyl replica style about '99 but the disc/remastering was the same.
Finally most of the album tracks are available on the Echoes collection.
I don't believe there to be too much between any of these versions even the newer ones but the Shine On is noticeably inferior to my ears.
Any of these 3 sound great despite the criticism above.

Can't anyone 2nd either Fatparrot or Ben Campbell,

This is getting very interesting,

Question for Fatparrot Q- if the disc is remastered in a 16 bit digital master , is it still called a DSD version?

Thanks

I own the Pink FLoyd Dark Side of the Moon and love it! The sound is great! If more people buy SACDs the label will be willing to release more pop and rock SACDs. IMHO the only way SACD and DVDA is going to survive is the release of "Classic Rock" SACDS. I would like to see all the Pink FLoyd discs rereleased as SACDs; like the labels did with the Rolling Stones, Peter Gabriel, and the Police. We need quality Rock SACDS: Where is Led Zepllin, Beatles, Rush, Queen, The Who, etc. How is SACD going to survive if the major labels release minor artists or ones no one has ever heard of. Also the SACD version needs to be released the same time as the Red Book one. What does everyone else think? SACD going to survive or back to ANALOG?

I cant answer your question but I have the Mobile Fidelity Gold version of DSOTM and it is substantially better than the SACD played in Stereo.....and I do mean substantially better....After reading all of the raves of the SACD I had to compare, but there is none. I'm very disapointed.

I am compairing on a very high quality red book D/A and Transport vs a top of the line Sony.
