One of the opinions columns in Hi-Fi World, February 2005 issue is
about SACD. The writer says that he has been told that Sony (the
record label) would like to forget about SACD, but they can't
because Sony (the hardware manufacturer) is still pushing it. But
it seems that Sony stopped subsiding other labels to make SACD
releases.
It's beginning to look like recorded music for the foreseeable future
(which may not be that long) is going to fall into two categories:
1) 2-channel playable on an iPod
2) multichannel accompanying video
If true, this has obvious implications for high-end manufacturers and
marketers.
