Confused about DVD-A


I'm a vinyl guy from way back when and I had a LOT of trouble getting into CD's. Now they say CD's are going the way of the dinosaur to be replaced by DVD-A and SACD.

So... here is my list of questions:
-Other than vinyl, which format swings best?
-What kind of player plays DVD-A's?
-Do you need to go to a surround approach to participate in DVD-A and SACD? I use the conventional 2-channel approach and have zero plans to change.

Thanx for the feedback and help.

I've read similar claims regarding the very near SACD sound for the Gamut CD-1 and of course the Audio Aero Capitole 24/192 (with the STARS system)
