| | Guest | DVD-A / SACD disc recommendations ?
Hi All,
I'm just about to take delivery of a player that can do both of these formats. I haven't bought it because it can do this, but nonetheless, I would like to try it out and see what the fuss is all about 
Therefore, can anyone recommend a disc (of either format) that really shows off the formats potential.
My musical tastes are very wide ranging so anything goes really. But would prefer soemthing I can buy in this country easily 
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Ian

You'll be lucky to find much in the shops so you will have to go online (Play & Futureent have DVD-A Play also has SACD as does Amazon & HMV).
I only have 3 titles so far:
Roger Waters In the flesh (SACD)
Miles Davis Tutu (DVD-A)
Dave Brubeck Time out (SACD)
All are multichannel titles & they are brilliant. I was knocked over particularly by the Miles Davis title as this really was a huge improvement over my old cd copy.
Other discs i've seen recommended are from Herbie Hancock, James Taylor, Aerosmith & Fleetwood Mac.
Take the plunge -

Thanks for that.
I already have Tutu on CD so that'll be the one to try and then I'll be able to really see (hear) the difference.
Cheers

I noticed a small section of DVD-A disks at Virgin in Plymouth, haven't seen any SCAD disks anywhere

For a good test, try Groove Armada - Goodbye country hello nightclub on SACD or Herbie Hancock - Headhunters on SACD. Enjoy

Most MVC stores have a fairly good selection of DVD-A's at around £20..

| | Guest | Jim,
I ordered the Groove Armada SACD from Amazon just before Xmas and got in return that delivery would be around end of Januray. Oh well I thought, I can wait. But I got an email the other day from Amazon to say "Actually, we haven't got it after all, we've cancelled your order".  museumsteve,
I'll take a look in MVC as I have one I can get to, see what they have. wilber,
Miles Davis - Tutu on DVD-A is just excellent. So much more than the CD. I'm enjoying it most evenings at the moment, truely a great use of the format. It is driving the missus mad though...
Cheers
Ian

Just noticed, Tesco are listing the Rolling Stones cds as "Remastered Super Audio" at £10.84, Yes £10.84. Will go on monday to check if there is any stock locally, if not will order online. Seems a bargain for SACD compared to elsewhere. This is all it will take to get the ball rolling for SACD over DVD-Audio. VMax

Gringotts, thanks for the link, it has given me some more to go for. Looking at the Stones stuff, I am not sure about mono and stereo tracks given multi channel treatment. probably buy one to try and make up my mind. VMax

I also ordered a Groove Armada SACD from Amazon - Lovebox (the new one). It took about a month to arrive but I did eventually get it.

Stu,
I went back onto Amazon and they are now selling it but via one of their MarketPlace vendors (or whatever they are called).
So I've ordered a copy again 
Another one I can recommend is Bjork - Vespertine on DVD-A. Usual Bjork weirdness but musically OK. Really takes advantage of the multi-channel format and so crystal clear it can hurt at times
Cheers
Ian
