The Stones SACD are hoaxes.There is little, IF ANY, sonic difference between the CD layer and the SACD layer. Unless you have a $5,000+ system, THERE WILL BE no audible difference.
Try it.
Play "Beggars Banquet", and switch from the CD track to the SACD track. Point out a difference in the sound, that others can hear as well. Exactly "What you can hear on SACD that you cannot hear on the CD"? If you can't name it, it ain't there.
I have done that consistently for for the last hour, and the difference is less than the benefit from the Auric Illuminator. Or Green pens. Or Freezing. Or Feng Shui.
Enjoy the music, that is great!!! But play the new improved CD layer; it will give you the same benefit.
