I don't own a SACD player now but buy the disks of
new releases (Goldfrapp - Supernature; Depeche
Mode - Playing the Angel) as my next player will
be SACD compatible. I don't care about DVD-A,
since even fewer of them are available.
I am willing to spend say 10% more for them than
for normal CD's, but not much more.
a) Do you think SACD is doomed?
b) Have you listened to a new recording mastered
for SACD from step 1 instead of an old recording
converted for SACD? What was the sound like?
c) What are your thoughts on SACD in general.
No downside for SACD hybrid, assuming equal or lesser cost.
Doomed? Probably, despite the potential for multichannel sound and
attraction of non-pcm flavored digital.
