Top 10 must-have DVD-Audio/SACDs
By Steve Guttenberg
(Updated March 29, 2005)
You just picked up one of the new affordable Super Audio CD or DVD-Audio players, and you want to find some high-resolution discs that show off its sound. We've auditioned piles of discs and picked 10 of our current favorites in each format. We also got our hands on one of the first two-sided Dual Discs; one side is a CD, and the other side is a DVD, so it can play anywhere. Be forewarned: after you hear these high-resolution beauties, you may not be able to enjoy a regular CD--let alone an MP3--in the same way again.(Updated March 29, 2005)
The discs are listed in order of release date, with the most recent titles heading the list. We will update this list periodically.
