I just got a DVD-A player, and I like to start a collection of such format. I have purchased three recording titles so far, and there is only one that I love to listen over and over. It is The Look of Love from Diana Krall. Since I am opened to all preference, I like to find out what is recommended out there.
I prefer 2-channel over multi-channel. Default is Multi and I needed to memorize the menu to get to the 2-channel program. With SACD I only need to hit a button to switch between 2/multi/CD and the transition is instant.
I was once a surround sound fan buying up all the multichannel disks I could find, however, since my gear has significantly improved I've gravitated to 2 channel.
As Jeffreybehr commented, 2-channel can probably be made your default through the Setup process. My Denon player, and perhaps others, let's you change this setting (but only for SACD) by a front panel button.
