It is not about a SACD, but only to a remastered CD in goldplated. I've just bought the item because I thought that this is a SACD and have now only get a beautiful golden CD. While this sounds better than the original, but has the potential of SACD far. Only those who are not yet called the CD its self (what a big mistake is ;-)) should strike here. Musically seen a milestone (IMHO) 6 star. I now own (unfortunately) Two CDs. Because the recording is better than the original there the 2nd star.
