Depeche Mode - up to and including Playing the Angel (SACD)
Talk Talk - The Colour of Spring (I think DVD Audio)
The Police - I think all were available on SACD originally when they came in those digipaks

Roxy Music - Avalon (SACD)
Bryan Ferry - Boy and Girls (SACD)
Don't know if more from these two are available on SACD.

I saw Avalon SACD at a used store once, at a reasonable price, but I stupidly did not buy it [B)]. I did pick up Boys and Girls, though, because I think the local Virgin or HMV mispriced it at the regular CD price.

PS. Nice to see that the latest Sony BD players support SACD.

I only have a two-speaker setup, and I can't tell the difference between CD and SACD. But one benefit of SACD is that it is quite a bit louder (louder signal from line), so better signal to noise, and you can crank it loud without taxing your system = no/low distortion.

No idea about HDCD. I have a DVD player that supports HDCD, but I couldn't tell the difference, although I didn't really spend a lot of time comparing.

BTW, in case anyone is interested in such things, there is a site that sells high resolution digital downloads (up to 96kHz/24bit). From doing a couple of searches, the selection seems crappy, but if you're into Madonna, you're in luck.
