Sony gets serious about high-resolution audio, again

Failure? SACD is alive and well in the audiophile market.
Yes, but that is a tiny niche compared to the original intentions.
Lot's of new SACDs coming out each week and many of them are really well
mastered. SACDs are about as dead as vinyl.
Good metaphor.
IOW they are the rarest of beasts, physical media that is on the rise.
When you are basically nowhere, its easy to show gains. In this case the
amount of data that is required for even just one song mitigates strongly
against downloads.
Let's face it. High Resolution audio has turned out to be a techno-jargon
saled pitch for remastering, or an oxymoron, depending.
