New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

Yes

I have a couple of these JSACDs.

From the point of view of sound quality, I particularly like the piano trio discs (Don Friedman, Great Jazz Trio), which sound very natural, dry and closeup, in the best audiophile sense.

Also very good are the two discs with acoustic quartet or quintet recordings by Eddie Henderson and Roy Haynes. Musically they are straightforward and a bit routine-like (as happens so often with sessions on japanese audiophile labels).

The SACDs by Ravi Coltrane and Joe Chambers sound a bit too overproduced for my taste (sonically).

You should not wait too long before getting the Eighty Eights SACDs, because most of them seem to be OOP (the same titles are also sold on LP and CD). I got mine a few months ago from HMV.co.jp
