The announced remasters on sacd will be hybrids and therefore will also contain the remastered audio on a regular cd layer. So, the answer to the question if it's worth to buy them if you only have a regular cd/dvd player still depends on the actual quality of the remasters, but that also holds if you do have a sacd player. We just have to wait and see, I mean listen. Still, I hope they manage to somehow improve a bit on the somewhat muddy sound of communique and the bit narrow soundstage of making movies.

But you need cable like this: http://www.nordost.com/odin-supreme-reference/odin2/power-cord.php . Like 15 000 USD for one meter  ;D

Don't forget the 10,000$ Mark Knopfler Signature Les Paul... your sound system will sound 100 times better with this guitar simply laying around :lol

In reality I think tests have shown that any cable will do the same job in digital media.  However a gold plated one will not oxidise and have better longevity.  I use the optical output on my CD player anyway.

Oh, and BTW I gave my SACD player/DVD player to a charity shop - never used it.

The great thing about this is to listen the same song in different formats, getting to know how different sounds one from the others, when different remasters are done. For me the best one is the one where the voices and instruments sounds as real as they can be. And admit that the 2010 Japanese SHM CD is my choice (playing Les boys in a quick blind experiment with heaphones).

Several websites announce remasters of the first four Dire Straits albums on SACD and 45rpm 2LP by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab. Great news! These guys really know what they're doing and really can make a difference In getting out the very best of a recording soundwise.

So...
Anyone with just a normal CD player, or a DVD like me... Does it worth to buy these new versions?

I have the "first" remaster of LOG, so, that must be 1997 (?, the Super Bit Mapped version), and I noticed the difference in sound, particularly parts of TR and INR.

I did not know there had been a second remaster of these albums, in the 2000's.  Is that what I am to understand?

The Bob Ludwig remasters were first released in 1996 by Mercury, and then re-released by Warner Brothers in 2000. Some parts of the artwork are different, but the audio is identical.


Unrelated- the Ludwig remaster of BiA is also on the 16/44 side of the BiA dual disc that was released by WB in 2005 in the US.

I received an email from MFSL today that the self-titled, Communique, Making Movies, and Love over Gold will be re-released by them on 45 rpm vinyl and SACD in "late October". I have a mild interest to see how the SACDs compare to the Japanese SHMs- particularly the self-titled, which has two different SHM versions.

Both the cds and vinyl will be out on November 1st.
The vinyls are all double lps and if they are like the previously released BIA will sound better on a decent system.
I know I shouldn't,especially at £50 per album,but I do like double LPs:)

It's surprising that there are still releases in SACD, I don't know anyone who has a SACD player at all... but the format is still alive and there are items being released...

You might get lucky, now and then

I have one, in my car!

I've been using my dvd player to play cds for years. It has a home cinema sound system and they sound amazing there.
