Default So-Called "Hi-rez" formats on their way out?

Problem is, the audiophile market is too tiny of a niche to support two
formats that could only possibly be interesting to audiophiles. SACD and
DVD-A could be interesting formats if they actually sounded better, but of
course they don't.

With DVD-A and SACD you've got two solutions looking for a problem that
neither of them adequately solves, duking it out in a niche marketplace. Be
still my heart!


For sure. The biggest problem those 2 formats face is that Dolby Digital on
DVD-V was already the de-factor standard format for multichannel music release.
