Nope, your both wrong.
I can put my ears up to my center channels while I'm playing stereo and there is definitely noise coming out of them. It's probably an option I have set in the receiver because at one point in time, I wanted noise coming out of the center channel.
This is a Hybrid SACD. Hybrid's contain both the lower quality CD tracks and the higher quality SACD tracks. I've proven this because my work computer and car do not have SACD players and this SACD will play in both of them. Only it's playing the CD tracks instead.
