Listening to Now In SACD Stereo (or Mono)

[4-earredwonder]

From Challenge Records, a wonderful Jazz outing with the incomparable Chris Potter on tenor SAX [Challenge Records/Stereo SACD]

I've been listening to Aurora recently. Below are some YouTubes of my favorite songs.
Conqueror-AURORA
Runaway-AURORA

 

[The Rang]

According to Discogs they have the same mastering:
UIGY-9613
2010 DSD Mastering
Single Layer SHM SACD
2014 Reissue
UIGY-9052
2010 DSD Mastering
Single Layer SHM SACD

UIGY-9613 dropped to $38.83CDN on Amazon Canada so I grabbed it.
This will be my 7th copy of this album, am I crazy or what? Lol

Are the Yes SACDs demonstrably better than the remastered CDs? I have been thinking about getting the Yes SACD box. Thanks.

No the YES SACD Box set is Shrill....AVOID at all costs....but the YESSONGS version that I have posted from 2017 is the best sounding version I've ever heard....ask around....you'll get the same answer....hope this helps

Completely agree. YESSONGS was very poorly recorded to start with, but that SACD version is the best I've heard. I don't mind the low DR on it as it's a live concert, is less muddy than other versions, and I always play it very loud (where the power of the band outshines other considerations). But the low DR values for the "High Vibration" set are unforgivable, given 13 of the discs are studio albums. Just look at the DR database values:
Album list - Dynamic Range Database

Wilson's remixes of five of their albums on Blu-ray are my "go to" versions, as well as the AF SACD of "Going For The One".

 

[newslane]

Wow Petr...thanks for the link to that amazing database....and everyone, thanks for saving me almost $1000 on the Yes SACD box.

Not the multi-channel?

Not the multi-channel?

Well of course not the MULTI-CHANNEL this is the STEREO SACD chat

 

[The Rang]

Not the multi-channel?

it does have a multi channel option but I’m listening in 2.0.
Marc Bolan’s voice really is an acquired taste

 

[J. PUPSTER]

Very cool Jazz from 1961 - AP SACD with Joe Zawinul on piano.

GREAT album, Clem and another CTI Treasure which has NEVER had a hi res physical disc release but JUSTLY deserves it is THIS Gem:

NEVER remixed into surround but would make a 'noble' Dutton Vocalion STEREO SACD!
