Is SACD region-coded?

[WmAx]

Greetings.

I wanted to purchase the new Bjork Medulla album, but seeing as that many final mixes/masters are not the same as the 2 channel mix on the SACD/DVD-A version, I wanted to purchase the SACD version to ensure the best version. However, I can not find a US source for the Medulla album except in standard CD. Will a UK, Taiwan or Hong Kong(these are the ones avaiable on ebay in sacd) version(s) work in a US SACD player?

TIA.

I have about 80 SACDs from Hong Kong and none of them are region-coded; there is no region coding for SACDs. There're no visuals on SACDs.

If you are interested in the Bjork "Medulla" SACD, the below link takes you to a Canadian retailer that will ship to US. Most of my 80 HK SACDs are from them.
