[BananaSlug]

No mention of multichannel or stereo, not holding my breath...

They're from Mobile Fidelity, so they almost certainly will be stereo only.

The Piano Man SACD is already out and yes...it's stereo only.

Got mine yesterday. It is stereo only but I'll take it.
It's a shame when a MC version is out there but not used. Unless, of course...
The SQ was preserved in the DSD.
Anyone wanna give it a crack?

Are you saying the SQ master was used for the sacd?

 

[Bob Squires Jr]

No, I said... it's a shame it's STEREO... UNLESS the SQ was preserved in the DSD.
If they used the SQ master would it be preserved in the DSD?

IF they used the original SQ master, then it would be fully preserved - and give a better decoding result than the original LP since LP's don't have very good phase response - plus the phase errors the playback stylus contributes (some have up to 20 degrees L/R shift at high frequencies).
