I heard a SACD of Pink Floyd's DSOTM from a pair of Infinity Alpha 50s, and I much preferred the sound to the CD. This got me interested in the format. I doubt it was placeabo, since you could actually feel the difference(more bass) vs the CD one, where you couldn't feel anything. That was the first thing I noticed.

Wheather a SACD/DVD-A player is worth it or not depends on how many of my downloaded FLAC/APE lossless audio collection is available in either format. Searching for SACD/DVD-A copies of each CD seems pretty daunting thus I gave up after a few tries.. but if there's a list or an archive that the major labels have up it'd make it easier.

Thanks.
