Will SACD die?

OK, 1st off i'm *not* trying to start a war!

anyhow, i just got my 1st HD player (a 3rd gen
Toshiba A35), and the HD sound isn't bad
(based so far only the included 300 movie disk)

given that there are probably already many
more HD players out there than there are
SACD players, will that cause hi-end audio
multichannel sound to switch away from SACD?


I think that DVD-A formats may turn up as compatibilty formats for HD
and/or Blu Ray players. It would just be a matter of relatively simple
decoding in signal processing units that are already pretty complicated.

SACD could get pretty dead pretty fast because it requires special laser
pickup assemblies because the initial content protection security is
implemented there.
