What's playing.

This one sounds amazing. Sound quality is superb, and so is the soundstage. I think the music is probably my favorite of my Miles Davis albums, too.

is a format developed by , holding patents and ™s that capitalists love.
Part of the money I spent on SACDs went to Sony for licensing.
I own a Sony Blu-Ray disc player that purports to play SACDs.
I also own a Sony sound bar that can play SACD files off of its USB port. But when playing discs from the player, it stays silent. Reason being and the refusal of one branch of Sony to pay licensing fees to another.

This came tonight. I still have the OG CD, but since this is a new transfer from the master tapes, I had to check it out. This was the first album I got obsessed with back in 1983. It’s arguably the best thing ever did.

Right off the bat listening to this A B testing between the original CD and this the MoFi version has a very noticeably wider soundstage. The bass isn’t as in your face, so probably not the best version for a dance party….

And the last album of the evening, also on SACD. Now I'm caught up on listening to my recent vinyl and SACD record purchases.

When you positively, absolutely have to have the best damn Der Ring des Nibelungen on the shelf. ’s superb remastering of the already amazing Decca Records Solti cycle. OOP and crazy bucks, but damn…

Every time I throw in the latest hybrid SACD update n my CD/DAC ($15,400) and plays it back in its only Red Book standard resolution, I shake my head at the beauty, power and glorious sound. You can read why MBL’s genius designer Jürgen Reis eschews drives in favour of standard in my review. audiophilia.com/reviews/2019/1
