Many people claim SACD, or hi-rez files ingeneral, sound better than Red Book CD. on the other hand there are many people claiming the difference lays only in the mastering. see this quote from a recent article at Stereophile: "Turning to "Money" from the hybrid SACD issue of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, John (Atkinson) compared the SACD layer, which preserves the superior original mastering, to the CD layer, which squashes dynamics." I believe such practice is actually not a separated example. I never tried comparing for myself but I believe Red Book standard does not have any reason to sound inferior. This is all in digitalisation theory - Nyquist theorem. But there's a good news on the way. The article tells about a shift from peak normalisation (high loundness) to loudness to peack ratio(LPR) normalisation basis in European broadcast industry. Let's hope recording industry will soon follow. For those who want to read the whole thing here's the link. http://www.stereophile.com/content/winning-loudness-wars (sorry, rich text does not work)
