Well,
I've read in nov. 2004 issue of Stereophile good article about bit-to-bit comparison of SACD vs. CD (it was newest Norah Jones album). It was sent by some enthusiastic reader/sound processiong engeneer, alongside with print-screens from Audacity and Sondforge re-printed in magazine.
As you can probably imagine frequency analysis, dynamic, range... etc. everything looks identical. Especially dynamic range so often emphasized in discussion about formats (you know those "you-can-FEEL-the-sound-of-musican's-breath..." etc...). The differences were, of course, in wider than 22 KHz CD limit freq. range filled with... you know what... warm, fresh, brilliant, mellow... noise! :)
OK, maybe my observations are bit amateurish, but I found this reading an interesting one.
Anyone read this article?
