RichP714 3,151 Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Looks like DVD-A has the theoretical advantage over SACD. I've heard there's not much well recorded material available on DVD-A though. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillD 239 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I have some classical stuff (Handel, Mozart, Grofé ans Shostakovich) on DVD-A. I also have Gaucho (Steely Dan) Tommy (The Who) and Love (The Beatles) on DVD-A. The Pop/Rock stuff sounds terrific, and some of the classical stuff sounds great too. Others less so. I think it has to do with the master and the mastering. But, because none of the stuff I have is done at 192kHZ (only 24/96), SACD is superior. I also have a couple of DTS CDs that sound pretty good (my favorite is The Police Every Breath You Take DTS CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNRabbit 370 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I agree with Bill in that the main difference is in the ORIGINAL recording & subsequent mastering. An SACD can sound like crap if it's made from a bad master/source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
