Assume a few of you have heard of the new Japanese SHM-SACD reissues. Many are created from older/known SACD  remastering efforts, but a few feature 2010 DSD remastering from original Japanese tapes.
Text from website follows:
"Reissue features the high-fidelity SHM-SACD format (fully compatible with standard SACD players, but it does not play on standard CD players). SHM-SACD (Super High Material SACD) is the ultimate Super Audio CD that utilizes the materials and technologies that were developed for the SHM-CD to further enhance audio resolution."
They have Steely Dan, The Who, Clapton etc., in addition to a few well regarded classical discs.

I have Steely Dan's Aja SHM SACD.
To be honest, I think the SACD of Steely Dan's Gaucho has much better sound.
