Hey guys. I have recently become believer in Super Audio CD and I am wondering if anyone else here follows high res audio. I never really bought into it much before, but I recently upgraded my system and now I am a believer. I bought an ass kicking Denon AVR-3805 receiver and a Denon DVD-2200 universal transport. Before the upgrade I played my Norah Jones' Come Away With Me SACD on the 2200 but on my old receiver and I was not impressed at all. It is amazing to hear on the 3805/2200 combo. I borrowed Godsmack's The Other Side and Chris Thile's Not All Who Wander Are Lost SACD's from a friend at work. I have never heard acoustic guitar like what is on the Godsmack SACD before. Sully's voice is sharper and raspier that what I have heard on Red Book CD. The Chris Thile SACD is absolutely breathtaking. Its all him on a mandolin. You can literally hear his fingers plucking the strings. Its so crisp it makes me shudder. I don't yet have any software on DVD-Audio. I have plans to pick some up when money allows. I am picking up the re-release of The Downward Spiral regardless of money as soon as it comes out. It is also being put out on SACD, and I can't wait to hear what differences (if any) there are between the Red Book CD, SACD, and DVD-Audio versions. Anyone else here share my interests?
