I have the DTS CD of the Police's 'Greatest Hits' package which is fantastic. Has anyone compared the DTS CD to the SACD version? Just wondering if the SACD would be worth picking up.

I have all of the studio albums on SACD except for Zenyatta Mondatta (have that one on CD), and they only sound very slightly better than CD, and are stereo only and are not hybrids. I believe the singles collection is 5.1 and a hybrid, but uses the same mix as the DTS CD (which I have a burned copy of), including those crappy remixes sans the originals :(

So no, probably a waste of money.

Yeah I figured as much. I'll stick with DTS :)

But I didn't realize that all the studio albums were out on SACD. In fact the only SACD I saw was for this Greatest Hits package that I was asking about because I was hoping Syncronicity was on SACD.

But, I guess I'll stick with my MFSL Syncro if the SACD's are not much better.
