I personally prefer the SACD format as many DVD-As require the tv on to navigate menus (I use a projector). The sound quality is just as good, however, and sometimes the DVD-A will have extra features that are nice. The main determinate for me is the availability of a title. Usually a band will be in one format or the other (ie Porcupine Tree is DVD-A). DVD-A is also often price discounted as the general public doesn't seem to understand the format and gets angry that there is no, or very limited, video.
M80s/VP160/QS8s/EP350; M22s; M3s.

Next question. I recieved two (Marta Gomez & Pizzarrelli Swing Live) SACD's today and getting no sound from my center channel, I checked the inputs and they all seem connected properly. Is that just the way they are mixed.

Many SACDs are 4.0. What is your receiver... "receiving" (does it have an "input info" mode)?

Check the CD label. They'll usually say. I have a couple of SACDs from the Living Stereo recordings (done in the 50s). One is 2 channel only, since only 2 channels were miked. The other is 3 channels, since 3 were miked.

You're right, Marta Gómez's Cantos de Agua Dulce doesn't utilize the center channel.

To the earlier question re: DVD-A, I have a few as well and really like them. I can't comment on DVD-A versus SACD, but I can say that I really enjoy listening to DVD Audio disks.

Interesting read. I wonder if/how he proposes one should set up a space for both music and movies?
