And to think there's a 5.1 remix of this album that Sony commissioned, ready to go, but no approval from estate of MJ (yet).....
If you havent already heard AP is taking preorders for another run of Wish You Were Here! I ordered mine, get yours while you can.. https://store.acousticsounds.com/d/133316/Pink_Floyd-Wish_You_Were_Here-Hybrid_Multichannel_SACD
Be sure to let us know how that is. I had the 5.1 Bluray from the immersion box set which was awesome. My fiancé took it when we split ...
If the 103 sounds pretty good with red book CDs, you should be able the hear a reasonable improvement from SACDs. I haven't heard the 103; but even my Oppo DV980h revealed the superiority of SACDs and DVD-As. Just be sure to start with one that has been favorably reviewed in this thread. The recording is more important Than the format.
Last one went OOP and prices went up accordingly. WYWH SACD is the best version I have. Smooth and dynamic. Beats my "correct" CBS Half-Speed LP and original US LP. Cannot recommend this version enough.
Yeah it sounds crappy on Redbooks. The recording is key. Your old Oppo was only 170 clams? I'm wonder that many of the titles avail on SACD were decent recordings to begin with? Check this. A tad overpriced.. https://www.ebay.com/itm/SACD-Insan...=item4b599feec4:g:BTcAAOSwwTFcJpvc:rk:14:pf:0
Havent had the opportunity to do any critical listening yet but first test run it sounds as expected, pretty damn good. And i love the cover, not just a typical jewel case.
