They just announced "The Best of Bread" in SACD/Quad for Feb. I'm in for that!

Can anyone recommend an amplifier/receiver that can actually play these SACDs in Quad/5.1 ?
My system will only play the CD portion.
I have a Sony SACD player & Pioneer DVD-A/BluRay/SACD player through a Harmon Kardon 5.1 amp

Most of the receivers with a 5.1 d/a built in are not going to sound good. I'd recommend buying an Oppo player & using the 5.1 Analog outs into your Harmon Kardon.

One other comment I forgot about: The entire SACD system is built to prevent sending the digital content through ANY output. IT CAN'T BE DONE. The ONLY exception is a particular model of PS3, which is how the SACD bootlegs are made.

Check your players output settings. Depending on how old your units are, you should be able to pass either decoded (LPCM) or und-decoded (Bitsteam) data via HDMI, Optical (Toslink) or Firewire (IEEE1394) to your receiver. The oldest SACD players only had 5.1 Analog outputs, in which case you will need to connect the player with 6 RCA (Unbalanced) cables to the Analod inputs on your HK receiver. If you do that, remember to adjust your Bass managment settings on the players menu.

Bump: Added cover images for the Bread and Grover Washington, Jr. discs a few posts up. Bread is still on for February 17th, but Washington has now been pushed back a week to the 24th.

Would it kill them to come up with more attractive packaging? YUCK!

Would have been nice if they had expanded the Bread a bit also; Warner did a 2 cd set after this one, & there's room for at least another 10 tracks on this set while still keeping it to 1 disc.

This best-of is the only Bread album which was released in quad and could be put out "as is". Additional tracks would require creating new multichannel mixes from scratch. I imagine that AF might want to do a second volume if this one sells well (and it already is, according to Amazon), so we can hope.
