In Reply to: Thanks! I have Barenboim Beethoven 3, 6, 7, & 8. I agree, they sound "OK". posted by Striving for Musical Clarity on May 1, 2003 at 11:56:55:

You are coming with conclusions suggesting SACD gets you closer to the music than DVD-A. I am leaning towards the same conclusion based on the very small sampling I've done to date.

I tried one of the Tacets and Barenboims Beethoven 6th and both were "decent"; definitely better than most CDs I've heard. I don't think both were as musically involving as some of the "pure" DSD classical pieces I've played with. I've also played with a few Classic Records DADs and the Eagles "Hotel California".

You might try comparing Ray Brown's "Soular Energy" available on both SACD and DVD-A. Both are allegedly derived from the same analog tape and both same very similar (to my ears) when played back on Sony 777ES and Meridian 598. Than again, the differences in formats might have been "effectively canceled" with the differences in source hardware..

I'll refrain from making definitive conclusions until I've heard quite a bit more. I'll be interested to hear what you think about the recommendations made by others (e.g. Beethovens 4,5, & 9).
