Ok.

Is 'SBMD' = super bit mapping?


Super Bit Map[ping?] Direct. Used to convert from DSD to PCM. Most hybrid SACDs have a little logo.

The CD (and CD layer of the SACD) sounded quite nice, but now of course I'm biased towards the SACD layer.

Due to listening, or due to seeing the results?

Due to seeing the results. I haven't done a proper listening comparison.
