Thanks Bruce,
but if they are from the same PCM source and both formats are mastered so are not clipping 0dbfs (or -3dbfs), from your experience do they adjust the SACD master to be louder/quieter or make it the same as redbook?Orb
In my experience the SACD has always been quieter to take advantage of the increased headroom over Redbook. That's one reason why people prefer the DSD file because it's more dynamic.
