This can has been open for quite a while. I would want to listen to the same piece recorded in both formats in order to make what I would consider a fair comparison of the two formats. So far, I don't know of anything that was recorded simultaineously in both formats so that comparison could be made. It may be you just like the available dvd-a music better than what is available in sacd. Or, it might be you really like dvd-a better- which is ok, too! Me- I think both of them have a lot to offer in comparison to redbook cd. Having said that, you can still buy a crappy recording done in either format. By the way, are you comparing 2 channel, multi-channel or both?
