First off, the title of this item is a bit missleading saying sacd
dvd-audio. This disc is actually in dvd-audio format, not SACD. The DVD
features the tracks present on the red disc of UP, that being the pop
versions of the songs. You have the choice between multichannel and stereo
tracks.

This was my first dvd-a disc and I must say I was impressed with this new
format. The stereo versions of the tracks didn't really go much beyond the
original CD for me but the multichannel tracks really brought things out of
the music I hadn't noticed. The sound is definitely more defined and the
reer channels are used well. It goes well beyond the virtual surround
offered with Dolby prologic II.

This album only has 2 songs that i may say they are good, i'm not a big fan of Shania, not even a regular fan but I respect her because she has a few very good songs but not in this album, that's my opinion, as for the dvd-audio point of view, the clarity of the songs is naturally amazing, really really crisp and sharp, you can hear every single detail in the recording but you won't feel any surround effects, it's ok if you like Shania Twain but not if you are looking for a true surround music experience.

This is a superb addition to the audiophile's collection of DVD-Audio discs, with very high-resolution tracks that let you hear every nuance of the music.

As a bonus, there are several music videos (in standard DVD-Video format but still in 5.1 Dolby Digital surround) including the sensuous beach scenes of 'Forever and For Always'.

An excellent album for contemporary country fans.
