SACD version of "Lost In Space" Re: [Vision2020] Jane Siberry

Hey there-

There is a copy of "Lost In Space" at Hastings in Moscow, an SACD/CD hybrid 
dual layer audiophile edition Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab disc that is placed 
facing cover out in a special section for SACD and DVD-Audio discs, but for some 
strange reason is under a shelf where it reads "VHS Music Video."  Hastings is 
a strange corporation.  But this disc has been sitting out in plain view for 
months at Hastings.  This disc will play in all CD players and also SACD 
capable DVD players.  It has two layers and the laser focuses to whatever layer is 
required.

This disc is made by Music Direct, a company I have bought from in Chicago, 
that bought Mobile Fidelity after they went out of business.

SACD is Super Audio CD, Sony/Phillips new format, using the DVD disc data 
storage system, to hold up to 5.1 channels of high resolution DSD (direct stream 
digital one bit at a very high sampling rate) audio at a much higher 
resolution (frequency response out to over 40 K, 18-20 bit equivalent) than CD.  It is 
not a compressed format.

Some say it sounds fantastic, with the warmth of analog but all the benefits 
of digital.
