    Folks,

    Is a SACD 5.1?
    If so, what's the difference between a SACD and a DVD-A?
    If not, what makes it "super"? :confused:

    Cheers,
    S.

    A lot of the time yea, but not always. It is much higher quality than CD though. A lot of SACD discs will have a 2 ch or a 5.1 ch option.

    SACD's need an SACD player to be played (theres a lot of dvd players that have SACD on them now. AFAI DVD-A plays in standard DVD players as well as dedicated DVD-A players.

    As for the super bit, its sounds better, and its just super :) Compact disc isnt so compact anymore with new technology around so its all subjective.
