Rolling Stones SACD Advise Requested
I need some help please;
Are the Rolling Stones SACDs in 5.1 surround music? My SACD player (Sony 650V) is detecting the SACD track, but not detecting the 5.1 surround on any of the discs. Is it my player, which I can take back; or is the SACD Rolling Stones only in two channel stereo.
My other SACDs are playing in surround just fine on the same player.
Thanks in advance for any advise.

"[The Rolling Stones' London/ABKCO catalog was reissued in August of 2002, packaged in digipaks with restored album artwork, remastered and released as hybrid discs that contain both CD and Super Audio CD layers. The remastering — performed with Direct Stream Digital (DSD) encoding — is a drastic improvement, leaping out of the speaker, yet still sounding like the original albums. This is noticeable on the standard CD layer, but is considerably more pronounced on the SACD layer, which is shockingly realistic in its detail and presence, yet is still faithful to the original mixes. Even if you've never considered yourself an audiophile, have never heard the differences between standard and gold-plated CDs, you will hear the difference with SACD, even on a cheap stereo system without a high-end amplifier or speakers. And you won't just hear the difference, you'll be an instant convert and wish, hope and pray that other artists whose catalog hasn't been reissued since the early days of CD — Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, especially the Beatles — are given the same treatment in the very near future. SACD and DSD are that good.] "
so its not 5.1, its just much better on a sacd player.
