no stereo matrixed dsp mode stands a chance against a good multi-channel sacd.
Agreed: there is always the chance that a recording engineer will arbitrarily create a surround mix that suits my tastes to a tee, and it will sound better than a matrix decoded 2-channel version. However, in the real world, that hasn't happened yet. Excepting a couple of SACD titles, I haven't found discrete multi-channel mixes that sound as good as matrix decoded 2-channel music. While a "good" multi-channel SACD always has the potential to sound better than a matrixed CD, I have yet to see that potential realized with music.

my challenge stands.
It would be pointless, as we'd both walk away prefering different things. All that the challenge would do is re-confirm our personal preferences. Nothing more.

Best,
Sanjay
