Recent SACD Masters [ Hybrid Stereo / Multichannel ]:

  • PRO ORGANO CD 7199 - Sir Edward Meets Father Willis - Simon Nieminski - Hybrid Multi-Channel SACD
  • PRO ORGANO CD 7201 - Julius Reubke: The Keyboard Works, John Owings, piano and H. Joseph Butler, organ - Hybrid Multi-Channel SACD
  • PRO ORGANO CD 7203 - Musique Hˇro•que, Eric Plutz, Princeton University Organ - Hybrid Multi-Channel SACD
  • Although SACD is a superior audiophile format, the growth of the user base and support for the SACD appears to have slowed in the USA market, and hence, mastering in this area is now less frequent. ZAREX HD is tooled up for Blu-Ray formats, and expects Blu-Ray audio and video formats to supplant SACD by 2012.
