Now that it looks like Bluray has won the next generation
video format war. I was now wondering about the format
war no one cared about DVD-Audio and SACD. Are both
these formats near death?


You just said that this was the format war that nobody cared about. Hold
that thought and fill in the blanks!

Is there any new content or hardware for these formats?


There is a pipeline of products that have been in development for some time.
Ask this question say, 3 years in the future when the current pipeline
contents run out.

It would appear that the mp3
has been chosen as the next generation audio format.


For what?

It would appear that this is just one more nail in the
coffin for high-end audio as well.


If high end audio were really healthy, its cash flow would have floated the
DVD and SACD boats up into the mainstream.

Right now I use a PC
to play DVDs, Bluray DVDs, CDs, and DVR.


You have a BluRay drive in your PC?


NBL.


Arny has been ****ting on high end audio for a decade-plus and then
he wails about the poor performance of high end audio.

Some people will be spending big money on audio because of the male
compulsion to measure dicks


And you would certainly know about that...
