Help Support QuadraphonicQuad:
Yes...developed after the DTS music discs and are referred to as being Hi-Resolution or "Hi-Rez" discs, DVD-A also supports a limited amount of visual content on the music discs which SACDs do not. If you look at the Polls, you will see what has been released, and in which format in recent years.
and an oher question are those SACD have the true 5.1 surround, becasue I had order as it was listed the blood, Sweat & Tears hi rez with the 4.0 mix is that the original quad mix that was in the 70's? I am not to familar with the SACD disc I did see them at our local best buy back in the early 90's all columbia artists, I do have a creedence Clearwater Revival the concert and it said on the case hybrid stereo super audio CD plays on ALL SACD and cd players, so I played it on my 7.2 yamha 7.2 and all of the music just came from the center and front and left what is the story on that. I thought the sound was supose to come out of all 4 speakers.

Hello to Huggy, you just prompted me to dig around to see if the site has a one-stop all-inclusive faq that would include surround format specs- if there is one, I didn't find it. You might do better with Google search rather than continue asking off topic questions here, or post questions here:

unless someone has a better thread to suggest.
The short answer to your question is Yes, SACD have the true 5.1 surround, but not all SACDs are multichannel- sounds to me like your Creedence concert is stereo only (but has both CD and SACD layers, hence the 'hybrid'.) If it's stereo-only, your Yamaha's doing the right thing by having nothing in the surrounds. There may be settings to synthesize surround from stereo, but sometimes these aren't available for higher-res digital audio formats like SACD and DVDa. Just because a multichannel layer can have 5.1 channels doesn't mean it always does- many times there's no '.1' (subwoofer) channel and your system has to be correctly set up to direct LF to your subwoofer for it to have an effect. Some SACDs are 4.0, even 3.0- my receivers will display the active channel count, check that before you spend too much time troubleshooting silent channels.
SACDs come in various flavors; an SACD can be stereo, multichannel, or both, and can include a CD layer or not. The SACD layers on a hybrid disc can only be heard when you have an analog connection between player->receiver or an HDMI connection to a receiver that supports hi-res audio via HDMI; this excludes older digital connections (optical toslink and SPDIF) which weren't fast enough, and/or secure enough from piracy, for carrying higher-res audio. Some players can send the SACD's 'native format', DSD, over HDMI, and some receivers and DACs can decode it; otherwise the player should be set to convert the SACD output to PCM format (usually 88.2/24, sometimes 176.4/24) and send that over HDMI. Either way the result is a very high resolution discrete (stereo or 5.1) digital signal to feed your speakers; the DVD audio spec likewise gives very high res discrete surround results.
Hope that helped with your questions, good luck.

James Taylor-Hourglass SACD
You must mean SACD.....
Isn't that an effect/part of the production on the track "Sarah" (iirc it's present in the stereo too)..?
Either way it's annoying to the point of not wanting to listen to it.
Yep...I bet if it would be "cleaned up" a little and some minor tweaks a solid stereo SACD could emerge..
Yes that's correct..it's on the CD too...I just skip that song..there is plenty of meat on the bone without that song...LOVE that disc...
Yes I did...good catch..
Its a fab album.. and the maestro Scheiner delivers the 5.1 goods (yet again).. Stunning.
Doobie Brothers-Captain and Me SACD
IMO it's possible...it's an Elliot Scheiner mix and Boz has had a title released by AF...but wouldn't you love to have Silk Degrees in hi rez too...
The music is a bit old for me but the sound on this is fantastic.
