Earth Wind & Fire - All 'n' ALL stereo SACD

privateuniverse said:

Can anyone tell me how this one sounds? It's my favorite EWF album and would love to have the SACD. Of course now it's long out of print and can't be had without shelling out a lot of money. I'd like to know what some other folks think before I fork over the cash for it.

The Sony Japan SACD of All 'N' All on Stereo SACD disc is a favorite here. I'd recommend it.

Maybe we can get a DSD download from Acoustic Sounds, but it seems they've been slacking in this area lately and just giving us FLAC.

How does the SACD compare with the HDTracks version?

I've only played the first few tracks of All N' All. Besides the loudness difference (going to the DD) the digital download is definitely clearer and more detailed. Bass is more pronounced too. What's interesting is that the SACD version sounds warmer but sounds like a first generation copy. Personally, I have not listened to the SACD since I acquired the DD. I'm glad I did the comparison because, now, I find I'll probably not be playing the SACD version anymore. My suggestion to you is, get the DD version since it's stereo only.
