SACD vs DVD Audio
I have about 5 of each I can't say any format is better than the other only thing I can say is you can back up SACD to I tunes but only at standard cd quality
I really enjoy listening to 5.1 music blu rays all seem to be live and not as good quality
Fair enough, I deserved that.
But the lack of ability to back-up seriously put me off SACD. It's a shame that there is no multi-channel download option (as far as I am aware of).
I am not too sure why you would need to back-up an SACD if you hold the physical item in your hand.
(Or maybe I do 
)
It's not as if it is a downloaded file that may corrupt.

I play everything from a NAS drive. I rarely use a CD player these days, and when I do it's more for nostalgia. I buy mainly downloads too from the likes of Boomkat (in FLAC format).
And I have everything backed up. So SACD is rather a pain. Yes the CD layer can be copied, but not any surround SACD layer, which kind of defeats the object.
Frog what it boils down to is an Active speaker set up vs Passive!
From my point of view my amp is capable of handling MP3 formats up to DVD audio without prejudice, you can tell noticeable differences between itunes/WAV/DTS/DVD(A) but all formats are still enjoyable plus I want to digress back into vinyl. I am intrigued by what Active is shouting about in the digital arena which I am sure I will purchase idc but can they handle anologue formats as well?
Help, help! We have been hijacked by the Active...sorry 'powered' speaker brigade!
What that has do do with the original post.
As for sacd's,is there a good site anyone can recommend for purchasing?
Iv'e looked on amazon/fleabay(uk) but wondering if there's a dedicated place.
cheers
