My main interest is in the areas of jazz and classical music. Lately I have experimented with SACD multichannel on an audiophile level. Conclusion is that three EQUAL front speakers really give a major improvement in soundstaging and detailing (provided that recordings are done properly). As a contrast, rear speakers are rather annoying and I prefer to mute them on 9 out of 10 recordings. The subwoofer channel is IMO conceptionally wrong in the case of high end audio, where speakers are perfectly capable of reproducing low frequency sound. So, all in all: Multichannel IS a great achievement in audio reproduction - if only recording engineers would ensure that mixing to 3.0 is the main target (just like Mercury and RCA did in the 1950'es). So, now we just need some more brilliant music to justify the extra investment... |

EMM Labs CDSD/DAC6e Signature Edition - may be the best available, especially the SE upgrade is remarkable. Used with Archos Hi-Q carbon fibre damper feet the sound quality reaches towards Heaven... Aural Symphonics Optimism EMM optical cables - a clear improvement over EMM Labs standard cables, but should be used without the supplied IOGel. Archos Audio Black Mirror 2ch preamp (to be replaced by Archos 5.1ch preamp soon) Archos Audio Black Mirror Monoblocks (4 pcs. since biamping is mandatory with my speakers) Infinity IRS 1B - heavily modified in cross-over and internal wiring Multichannel upgrade is on the way, even if it means that my 1B's will have to go... |

I have purchased Eighty-Eight SACD's from Amazon.jp and Ejazzlines.com. I don't have the CD version for comparison, but the SACD version sounds very good indeed. ... more | |
