Is DVD-A still-born?


Do Audiogon members think DVD-A has been too slow getting off the ground?,a respected journalist in the UK thinks it already dead.
SACD has the lead although many of us are holding off the new formats at the moment.
My fear is that the confusion surrounding the new formats in general may limit their success and our ability to buy the new generation of digital recordings.
It takes time for new formats to be introduced but in the meantime my CD collection grows and grows........

The problem with both SACD (Strictly Antique CD's) and DVD audio is there aren't many releases of new material.

I don't know about anyone else, but when I walk into Tower Records and browse through 1000's of CD's I rarely buy more than couple. Trying to find something to buy among the couple of hundred SACD's and DVD A's available is an excercise in frustration. (How much Miles Davis can one listen to)? Although I love the idea of 24/96 or 24/192 sound, I won't be buying a player until the selection of software increases. At this point I'd rather not know what I'm missing.
