    Elvis is one of the best. My favorite stuff however, is the Sun Session recordings. I hope they eventually put these recordings out on SACD. I know the last edition of the Sun sessions CD that came out had some DSD masterings on it. Maybe that's a precursor to a SACD?

    Thanks for the info Jesse.

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    It's Now or Never, Surrender, His Latest Flame, Suspicious Minds in SACD. Tempting. Very tempting.

    Those were remastered by Sony using DSD technology, but downsampled for release on CD. There is no guarantee that music remastered using DSD will show up on SACD. Sony Classical has many CD titles using DSD....but no SACD version. Same with Brian Eno's catalog. However, in my experience, a CD that was mastered/remastered using DSD often sound extremely good.

    I will be getting "Elvis Is Back!" SACD for sure. I already have the 24K gold CD of "Elvis 24 Karat Hits" (purchased at Best Buy!!), so I will hold off on that time.

    Wow,that's great I Love Elvis.... Hopefully they will release more "SOUL MUSIC" on SACD... the word Soul appears to be dead now in these times.it used to be a popular genre in the 60's and 70's.

    I wish "Burning Love" is available in hi-rez. There's a rocking Elvis track....from the 70s, no less.

    Good news, because you know what Mojo says (Mojo Nixon)...?

    Elvis Is Everywhere [lyrics]

    When I look out into your eyes out there,
    When I look out into your faces,
    You know what I see?
    I see a little bit of Elvis
    In each and every one of you out there.
    Lemme tell ya...
    Weeeeeeeeeellllllll...
    Elvis is everywhere
    Elvis is everything
    Elvis is everybody
    Elvis is still the king
    Man o man....
