Heads Up! There is a more superior version than this 2011 recording: it is the 2018 version: Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
The 2018 version is so well recorded that it does NOT need offset correction (0dB).
There is no compression and you can actually hear the rich and beautiful dynamic range of this recording.

Did someone say "The 5.1 mix is a life experience.."
Absolutely.
Be Warned: After listening to 5.1 surround sound, i am here to tell you that listening to good ol' Stereo can sound pretty much boring....

I do not have a multi-channel system, but imo the SACD stereo layer is utterly fabulous!

What is going on? The 2018 version is available for $35 new!

This review is strictly for the STEREO version.

It is magnificent. In the very beginning, the keyboards assert themselves and own the song. There is no one, no one, who can grab and lock hold of a room like Pink Floyd can. It's utterly astounding how they do it. The keyboards start low, and then as detail is added, they keep pushing upward, giving a feeling of a rising floor. I know of nowhere else that happens.

Of course, the entire album is like that. Every song is overwhelming, and goosebump inducing. I blasted this album as loud as I could, and was completely content while it spun. It's easy to pick out each instrument in space, and the grip the music has on you is palpably thick. This is extraordinary, and I know of no other group in the world that can grab a room and lock it like Pink Floyd - that is the niche that they have over any other musical group.

Obviously, I rate this albim very highly. There are simply not that many records or albums that grip me like Pink Floyd can. They are just a step above anyone else.

Overall grade: 6 out of 5.

Player: Oppo BDP 93.

One of the best 5.1 mixes that have been created sonically and content-wise. I no longer have any use for the stereo version. The mix is revelatory for Rick Wright, in particular

Although the PCM layer tends toward too loud it still sounds very good, and the DSD 2 channel is tight, punchy, and resonant.

Just a bit of knowledge for fellow Floyd geeks - a small piano part was missing from the multi-tracks so Rick Wright re-recorded it in 2007 for the mix. One of his last ever recordings.

Short film about it here: https://youtu.be/XxO34OyJ-WE

The surround sound mixes appear to be the same as the ones included on DVD and Blu-Ray in Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here - Immersion Box Set. They are all mastered by James Guthrie, and mixed by Guthrie and Joel Plante. The DVD version is lower-resolution at 448 or 640 kbps. In the Immersion Boxset, they specify that the 5.1 master/mix is from 2009. However, the Immersion Boxset was released in the same year as this SACD, 2011. Presumably the same source on different formats. For the relatively low price, it is well worth it to upgrade to the Immersion Boxset. A BR player is much more common than an SACD player anyway.

That being said, the 5.1 mix truly is a life experience.
