I'm looking to get a new CD-player and can't decide on
whether to get a SACD unit or DVD-a compatible one?

Why not get a player that is compatible with all of the
above? Heck, even I have one!

My thinking is:

1. SACD will play CD's and that would be great for
computer burned CD's, but is the format short lived?

IMO SACD is already dead as a mainstream audio media
format.

Unless you are interested in classical music, where it is
becoming the dominant medium for new releases.

A sad comment on the state of new releases.

I question Harry's claim in any case. A visit to the
local CD emporium (Tower) does not support the idea
that SACD is the dominant medium for new
classical releases. Most are still CDs. This
includes both 'new' new releases, and reissues.
