Is there a list of SACD & DVD-Audio titles?
I don't know much about DVD-A, but all of the currently available (and most
of the soon to be released) SACD titles are listed at
http://www.sacdinfo.com
Can DVD-Audio/SACD downmix into 2 channel stereo? Are there 2 channel
stereo
discs available? My processor lacks 5.1 input.
Downmixing from multi-channel to stereo is a concept alien to SACD. All SACD
releases carry a stereo (or very occasionally mono) mix as it is mandatory
in the SACD specification. A multi-channel mix and/or a CD layer are
discretionary.
As I understand it DVD-A releases may only be multi-channel, with a stereo
version only available via a downmix.
To enjoy either hi-rez format in stereo it would be important for your
processor to have a stereo input that is not redigitized, but provides a
pure analogue signal path.
