Don't be fooled into thinking that all SACD's sound the same. Just like on regular CD's, the quality of mixing and mastering still applies. I also have the Pink Floyd album (which is awesome) and I have Aerosmith Greatest Hits and Michael Jackson's Thriller. The Aerosmith SACD is also impressive (albeit in 2 channel), but the Thriller SACD is actually a downgrade (in my opinion) to the redbook version. DSOTM sets the benchmark, but not all SACD's are of the same quality. But I do think that for the most part, the mixing engineers take the SACD version a bit more seriously.
