I don't think that vinyl is an audiophile-only product: it's the
trendy kids who like retro-everything who are buying it. The trouble
for SACD is that it doesn't have that market.
True but it is multi-channel and supports fans of multi-channel
remixes of old stereo recordings that were done in multi track. Not
my cup of tea but it is a meaningful market
Hmm, I'm not sure about that any mo recent hi-res multichannel
releases I've bought have been Blu-Ray or DVD.

Here is the listings at Acoustic Sounds
http://store.acousticsounds.com/c/4/SACD
1,632 titles on SACD
http://store.acousticsounds.com/inde...&categoryID=10
794 titles of multi channel SACDs
http://store.acousticsounds.com/c/6/DVD
120 DVD and BluRay titles combined 50 of which are just plain DVDs as in movies.
Looks to me like in the audiophile world the SACDs are the format that is thriving.
