Audio dvds, SACDs, etc
Has anyone played SACD's in their TL Yet? if so how is the sound quality?.
Also where are people buying there Audio DVD,s or SACD's off the internet - does anyone know of intrenet sites which sell these at a discount. The lowest i found was DVD empire.com (they offer free shipping on multiple cd's). I keep getting out bid on ebay - knowing the prices at DVD Empire.com and also have not had much luck on half.com.
Thanks

I have listened Linkin Park DVD-A I was not to impressed with the sound quaility difference bewteen a normal CD. But it may also have been the genre I was listening to maybe in other genre their is a noticeble difference.

SACD's
sacd's will not play in a TL.
If a SACD is a hybrid it will show the Compact Disc logo on the label somewhere. Non-hybrid SACD's won't have the Compact Disc logo, just the SACD logo and those won't play in the ELS system.

Mastering is correct.
Unless a better mastering job was done, I don't see how that's possible.
So, yes, it's completely possible that the CD tracks on an hybrid SACD can sound better than a standard CD. Most volume CD's aren't mastered from the original master recordings but digitized from source material a couple of generations removed from the 1st generation master tapes. It may be digital, but loss can still creep into the process either by chance or by design.

I have a question. Will hybrid SACD's play in DTS mode in the TL? I dug up an old eagles DTS cd that I had since 2000 and it sounded great in my TL. It played in 5.1 DTS and sounded phenomenal.
