Default SACD spec seems like overkill

OK what are the differences in the mastering of the latest offerings
from Audio Fidelity between the CD layer and the SACD layer?


You mean that you can't hear them?


You mean you can?


I don't own any of them, and see no compelling reason to invest in them or a
player for them. Given that the history of SACD is technically so dreary
vis-a-vis gratuitous sonic differences, some interesting claims would have
to be made to raise my personal interest in them above zero.

I just took a look at the Audio Fidelity web site, and it looks like
business as usual. IOW, a continuation of the long-standing practice of
separately mastered and therefore different-sounding SACD and CD layers. If
you have some contrary evidence, be sure to provide it.

Cite any differences in the layers besides the format.


Since this is your area of interest S888wheel, cite any evidence that you
might have indicating that they differ only in terms of format.

They were mastered by the same guy with the same equipment in the
same mastering suite during the same mastering sessions.


Irrelevant.


Wrong.


Prove it.
