Patrick,With the emergence of universal players this boring discussion should go away and we should focus on how good the software and systems can get. Since I use the sound of a piano to calibrate the resolution of my system, I'm continually searching for the best solo piano disc in each format. Right now, my choice for DVD-A and overall is the 5.1 track on the AIX Mozart & Schuman disc. This is closely followed by my SACD reference, the Lazic/Ravel Retrospection on Channel Classics. However, I can only play this in stereo right now and I understand that it is just plain scary in MC. While I can hear differences, I'm a long way from any judgement as to which format is best.
On the other hand, there is a great deal of software out there in both formats which doesn't hold a candle to RR's HDCDs.
