Or simply put, DSD made it possible to capture all of what's in the fragile
original master tape. Thereafter, you make CD , mp3, DVD-A or even LP...it
means nothing. The re-emergence of rolling Stones in SACD and thereafter in
CD or both simultaneously was pastrly DSD or SACD made it possible to save
what could be lost forever. Or atleast this the story that was told by SACD
white paper.

My only clue that proved to me that Sony was pulling the plug on SACD
was with Thomas Schippers' recording of Alexander Nevsky by Prokofiev.
For ages it was not available on CD. About a year ago it came out on a
single layer SACD. Fast forward to a few weeks ago. I wander into
Tower, and see that Sony has released onto CD a series of "Great
Performances" ....and there it was.....all remastered in great sound,
and at a amazing low price of $7.99!!!! For me, that was the sign that
resisting had paid off. Thank you Sony, for saving me money on
equipment. So long SACD (and DVD-A for that matter), it's been great
not knowing you.

Oh, by the way.....I'm not just a stubborn pessimist. I do have HDCD in
my system. I know that when that little blue HDCD indicator light goes
on...........I know that my player's face is much prettier.
