I've been buying a few DVD-A and SAC discs in recent months and finally got a DVD-A and SACD player to listen to them on.
However, about the same time I did that I changed my speaker system to one that uses a digital crossover and EQ system. This means it redigitizes the signal, theoretically losing the advantage of the hi-rez formats, although I bought them in fact for the discrete multichannel.
However, I'm curious to see what I'm missing out on, and whether the tradeoff from the digital EQ outweighs the loss of the highest resolution. It does with ordinary PCM.
Now I'm trying to work out the best way to do the comparison. Swapping in and out a three way active crossover and matching EQ channels won't be easy, but I do have the required analog crossover and EQ.
To make the comparison as fair as possible, I'm looing for suggestions for very high quality 2 channel SACD or DVD-A that has exactly the same mix available on a separate CD. I think it should have been originally recorded in hi-rez as well.
So, any musical suggestions to show the improvement of SACD or DVD-A?
Thanks
