I have both the CD and the SACD ... The more money you get a thousand times in enjoying music again! I myself hear SACD usually only in stereo - but that's a matter of taste (can understand that you feel the voice in 5.1 mode as Center as annoying !!!) But just songs like "Your Latest Trick" or "Brother in Arms" (only quietly and then with a lot of power) are great to bear and can be received old really nice. General to this album ... It's simple: it is in my eyes the best Dire Straits album - and by far. I have a fairly complete DS and Mark Knopfler collection and can only say ... who wants an introduction to the music of this band to bring this album (the "Very Best Of" is here first really not necessary. Oh yes - and buy a good wine for the neighbors ... the CD enticed to "crank up" !!! ;-)
PS: In order to make a false impression that ... Both the SACD as well as the normal CD earning 5 Stars!
