To avoid starting an SACD panic, it is important to note that, apart from this specific example, I have not come accross another dump of a CD and an SACD (and I have over 40 of them). What they do for older recordings (it depends on the age) is go back to the digital masters (which have been 20/24 bits for as long as I can remember) or to the analog masters (which are of very high quality) and restart from there, sometimes matching pretty well the older CD mix. The end result is also a new CD (that I can tell since I had a few CDs--of the exact same performance--that I now own on SACD and the CD portion is slightly different).
The only ones I am wary about (and I have 2 coming in the mail this week or next week) are those said "Enhenced". What the heck do that mean&? Steroids?
