冇左Karen Carpenter嘅沉厚磁性嘅聲，好似好雞仔聲！反而冇咗個種舊歌味道！

I prefer the USA first edition 2003 of CD + SACD hybrid edition more than single layer of Japan reissued SACD

can anybody who bought that single layer SACD can tell if the disc has the SACD stereo sound only or with 5.1 sound layer too?

because the 2003 USA first edition has 3 choice: CD DSD stereo layer, SACD stereo layer, and SACD 5.1 sound layer to choose

The new Japan Carpenters SHM-SACD is a single-layer stereo SACD, whereas the older US version has a separate layer and a hi-res multi-channel mix.  

Both SACDs featured involvement by Richard Carpenter. However, in a recent interview, Richard said the master tapes used in creating the multi-channel mix were destroyed in a fire at the Universal Music vault.

thank you for your quick information supplied

I beg you shall have bought the new japan reissued SACD right? can you tell if any sound improvement compared to the old 2003 USA first edition?

Based on the information Richard Carpenter claimed 2003 SACD master was burn, so it is unlikely we can have the 5.1 multi-channel to be reissued again, so the 2003 really is a treasure
