New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

TRUE !!! WARNING: Packaging is confusing.

I bought the Let It Bleed CD last week thinking it was a hybrid SACD/CD. There were two packages, neither of which said SACD. There was a digipack and a jewel case package, both of which curiously have the same product code. THe jewel case says DSD remastered, but not SACD logo or anything. The digipack doesn't say anything. Mistakenly, I bought the jewel box, hoping the DSD on the edge meant it was a hybrid. Once home, it was clear there was only a CD layer and no SACD (tried in both Denon and emmlabs players). So, I took the disc back to my dealer and reluctantly they opened the digipack to compare the discs. Sure enough the disc inside the digipak had a SACD logo and small writing on the disc that said it could be played on both CD and SACD players. So, if you want to buy the hybrid, make sure it is the digipack, and not the newer issues in jewel boxes !!!!!
