Sean showing me up with an SACD purchase for a few dollars more than my Redbook CD purchase made me spend a little time searching for SACD and multi-channel discs. (Well, that and the fact that the VP160 will likely open up new enjoyment of multi-channel audio).

I don't remember any reviews here of Moving Pictures - Deluxe Edition [CD + Blu-ray]. A search didn't turn up anything either. I would think Neil Peart in surround would have had tongues wagging here.

Also, I never knew that Steely Dan- Aja was released on SACD. It's been one of my favorite albums of all time and despite the exorbitant price, I might treat myself!

Jeeez, I wish hi-rez, multichannel, well-mastered stuff would start coming out in Blu-Ray. The hardware installation is in place...just release the damn discs! I think everything that has already gone through remastering for SACD and DVD-A multi-channel could easily be released on Blu-Ray without much of an effort. The work has been done.

Release them now, dammit!
