Hey there-<BR>
<BR>
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.<BR>
<BR>
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.<BR>
<BR>
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.<BR>
<BR>
Some say it sounds fantastic, with the warmth of analog but all the benefits of digital.<BR>
