I have to disagree with this. Why do SACDs exist? Because they absolutely sound better than CD. Most SACDs are actually hybrids, so you can quickly switch back and forth from the CD layer to the SACD layer. The difference is astonishing. > I still hear people say that vinyl records sound better than CDs - when the > truth is no one can tell them apart... I can!!! CDs do not have higher quality or more data than a human can distinguish. That is a myth. Listening to a good quality recording on good audio equipment back-to-back from CD to vinyl, there is no question that the vinyl sounds much better. If you have never heard this difference, perhaps you have not been able to do a back-to-back comparison on audiophile equipment.
