Beck Sea Change is also available in both SACD and DVD-A. Personally, I think both SACD and DVD-A are outstanding when done right. I have a Denon 2200, and both hi-rez options have the capability of sounding great.

To my ears, SACD is a bit warmer sounding than DVD-A, which is a great blend with the Axioms. But DVD-A is still a nice blend with Axioms.

I agree that HDCD is bogus.
