Another sign SACD is dying


I went to Best Buy to purchase some SACDs and after searching for the special section containing sacds and xrcds without success, I asked the salesman where they were. He informed me that they were all removed since dual disc is now the rage. WOW!

JAYBO...what do the manufactures say?Are you just speculating or do you have definitive information.Honestly after hearing how good the cary 306 sacd is.I'm having hard time justifying keeping my analog frontend.
SACD dead?.....the number one selling recording at ACOUSTIC SOUNDS is the dire straits SACD.In fact 3 of the top 5 sellers are SACD.
JAYBO...thanks for your info.I don't question that you have heard this from Industry insiders.I just wish we had more definitive info. from other sources...certainly companies that produce SACD frontends would also have access to info. regarding future SACD releases or lack of them.and yet they continue to invest in R&D and market new SACD players. ???
JAYBO.....do yourself a favor and listen to SACD thru the cary 306 sacd player.I understand what you're saying ...but if you heard how good sacd can be.You would understand why we support this format so strongly.
Sorry...you are right .There is no SACD available via broadband or satellite....however the music that is available VIA broadband,cablebox,mpeg3 and computer can be run thru the DAC on the CARY.The abiltiy to source it with sacd,hdcd,cd and non software sources makes it a good choice for managing all the various digital sources available today....add a decent analog frontend and you have all the formats covered.
I used to be strictly into analog...but the cary 306 sacd player has changed all that.I hope SACD stays around for long long time.Plan to buy as many titles as i can....
