How can one tell which is better from another? Is there a website where I can see the reviews of those albums that were released on both formats? I was looking at Diana Krall's LOVE SCENES DVDA, and then I realized that the same album is also available on SACD. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ryan |

DVD-A can be played on any DVD player and SACD can only play on supported players. I have both! The way I see it is if you can get your SACD's to play in 5.1 Muli-channel you'll pull a great sound, then you should be in your eliment! |
