You're absolutely entitled to your opinion that they sound better, but the faulty logic is attributing the (perceived) uptick in sound quality to AP's use of the SACD format for their remasters. The improvement in fidelity could just as easily be the result of new EQ choices made by the mastering engineer, which would be perceptible to listeners regardless of what optical format or codec the audio is packaged in.
My opinion stands, Jonathan. I invested a small fortune in my MAIN system over the years and when A/Bing the RCA 'ambisonically recorded' Cowboy Junkies RBCD on a Reference Meridian 808 player to AP's SACD remaster on my tank like Marantz SA 113S SACD player .... the difference was palpable. As I told Adam in another thread......my bedroom receiver and 5.1 set~up is hardly as revealing as my Main System. A receiver just can not give you the bang for the buck that high quality separate components can.
