Hybrid (This SACD is compatible with all CD Players)

Showcase 2005 is a SACD collection where we show some of the latest Opus 3 music. Showcase 2005 is an excellent disc to demonstrate audio equipment. Its a hybrid stereo/multichannel SACD. Showcase 2005 is educational, both from a musical and from a technical perspective because when it comes to serious and quality surround sound - nobody is sitting in the middle of the band!

Since Opus 3 launched their first Testrecord in 1979, the Opus 3 Test CD/Samplers have become an audio institution! As technology advances and improves so will the Opus 3 Showcase to include and illustrate new and stimulating possibilities made available on SACDs and pure DSD. In what we believe is a very harmonic and enjoyable mix, we give you a selection from our latest albums of music ranging from Blues, (sometimes with spices of Rock!), Jazz, World Music and Classical. In common with our previous Test CD's/Showcase albums, we include in-depth liner notes and comments on all of the tracks..........but with a significant difference. Most of the tracks on this album were recorded and mixed not only in stereo, but also in real surround and we therefore give precisely detailed information relating to this, i.e; whether in a Blues or Jazz Club, Church or Concert Hall etc.
