I know a couple mainstream CD's used Qsound, most notably Madonna's Immaculate Collection. I prefer the originals than what is on that collection, it feels kind of like a forced stereo effect. Only a small handful of albums were released with it. I don't really notice that type of effect with stuff like Capcom's arcade soundtracks or the Sega CD redbooks.
Given the price of the Sega CD, not surprising Sega would try to push it as sort of a high end component. I guess back in those days, the fact you were getting a unit that played music CD's was kind of a big deal.
