Depeche Mode fans got a real treat not only all of the albums were released as MCH SACD but they also got the DVDs of all albums with 24/96 DTS (MCH) and 24bit stereo... An audiophile dream come true.


I am not a full time fan, Depeche Mode is not my favorite band or kind of music but the way these MCH was mixed can only be applauded. It is excellent, the mixes make perfect sense and sound more natural than stereo... Depeche Mode records, although electronic and sterile were always full of action and separating tracks into four channels benefits them profusely... I have three of them: Some Great Reward, Violator and Music For The Masses with the latter being my fovourite. It was my favorite Depeche Mode disk for ever (feels like a complete recording rather than a set of hit singles) and its MCH rendition even adds to its quality...


I envy you full time Depeche Mode fans, I wish other bands would follow the suit and re-release their complete discography in MCH SACD's....



PS. I have no use for the DVDs, if anyone interested in DVD disks (including the boxes) please let me know...

I got Violator on SACD some time ago and it sounds excellent, was never a huge fan but I may have to get some more.

This is pretty old news you may want to read this thread . I have all eleven sets, their music really lends itself well to multi-channel.

Which one sounds the best in MCH in your opinion?

 

[apodaca]

Yes, the mixes sound fantastic and I plan on getting the Genesis ones as well but have been waiting to get all of them at once.

Which sounds best is going to depend on which album you probably like best. I'm partial to their stuff from the mid 80s, early 90s. Music for the Masses, Violator, and Songs of Faith and Devotion would be my first picks.

Add Some Great Reward and Black Celebration to those three, and those are the 5 DM SACD's I see recommended the most. I have these 5 as well as Speak and Spell. They're all excellent, and I am not a huge DM fan. CD-Wow has them all for about $18 each shipped to the US, less with coupons.

I've had Exciter on order from www.cd-wow.us since March and the release date keeps getting pushed back... now their site says Jun 18!!! Before it was April 30th or so. What gives?!?

Anyone else know of a good place to buy the Euro SACD+DVD in the USA from?

Hmm... Last I heard the release date for Exciter and Ultra was 21 May which is tomorrow. Maybe they have been delayed.
