    I have done this with hybrid dual layer CD's. They have a regular CD layer and an SACD layer.

    IME most SACD's sound better than the regular CD's. The technical capability is there for SACD's to sound better. The mastering is what makes or breaks the sound.

    One Swedish engineer does not a consensus make. From what I've heard and read most studio engineers are for all the higher resolution formats, including bitstream (SACD).

    If you have an SACD capable player why not buy one of the hybrid disks. Play both layers and tell the rest of us what you think.

    Sony invented bitstream for the purposes of archiving their master tapes. SACD's are nothing more than bitstream files placed on a CD (physical format).
