Definitely a good listen
@nonoise  The reason I was asking about SACD’s, I only have a few as well and playing them on an older Oppo 93 and a newer Sony multi player, I could hear difference’s, but  was nothing earth shaking in two channel, (although 5.1 on Dark Side Of ... 
Uptone Audio LPS-1.2 Failures
