Can this SACD be played on a normal CD player?

Can this SACD be played on a normal CD player? No, SACD discs can't be played on a regular CD player. You'd need a SACD player for that, AFAIK.

I'm just not sure if this one is that or not. It listed as "Numbered Hybrid SACD" on the website so we can assume it also features a regular cd layer on the disc.

I kinda want the special vinyl but it's so expensive. Like, other artists release remastered box sets for that much.

I'm just not sure if this one is that or not. In that case: "A hybrid SACD will play back normally on a normal CD player, but it won't have any sound improvement over a regular CD. A SACD player would be required to get any theoretical sound improvement." Why bother? You'd still need a SACD player to hear any improvements, I'm led to believe.

The SACD version features the same remastering as the vinyl I think? The normal CD likely won't. It doesn't say it does on the website anyway.

I'm personally wary of the SACD version of the remaster. CDs are often made very loud for no reason, I know the company that is doing it has a good reputation but yeah, I'm still a bit iffy on that.

I've been reading for years that the SACD is the 2nd best to the original US pressing, posted by people who have a stick up their arse about all this shite so I'd be confident enough it's the real deal. The DSD version on Acoustic Sounds is the same, and that sounds amazing I can confirm. Never thought Michael Jackson and Audiophile would be a discussion in 2022.

I'm too tired to give a single fuck about the font tbh. Just give me the stuff to listen to and I'm happy. I guess I've just become so accustomed to separating the good stuff from the bad with his estate that I'm past caring. They'll never fuck us over worse than they did in 2010 with the Cascio debacle. If you start off by royally fucking someone over then anything you do subsequently won't seem so bad.

Delighted I’ve reached this new calm place. Giving up caffeine -around 10 coffees and tea’s per day- has made me so calm it’s unbelievable.

I just preordered the MoFi UltraDisc One-Step vinyl box set and the SACD. I’ll pick up the two disc in HMV on release day. If I’m not at work! 😂

Cause the estate are money hungry and go up their stuff. 😒😒😒 funny because if Michael was alive he wouldn't let this stuff be too high. he knew all his fans couldn't afford everything and came from an poor background. but like anyways like the estate says they are jealously of all estates. 🙄🙄🙄
