Default Will SACD die?

Yeah but what are the odds that there will be pure music audio discs
of any consequence on those media?


*IF* the music industry is at all interested in selling multichannel
music, it would be insane of them NOT to move to these formats,
since in a relatively few years,


^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

afaik, it's already true *now*

i don't know the current numbers,
but my hunch is that BD and HD-DVD
players already outnumber by at least
a 2-to-1 factor (maybe even more
than that)

everyone will have DVD players that can play them
(unlike SACD and DVD-A).


^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

agreed

most people don't know that SACD exists,
and of course even if you tell them
about it, they're not about to spend
the typical extra 100+ dollars to get
a player that can handle something called
SACD and DVD-A

and when you ask a store sales person
if they have any SACD disks, what you
get is a blank stare
