Is SACD a dead format?

SACD was a stop gap profit scheme for Sony, they milked audiophiles and technophiles who bought unneccesary equipment and have incompatible software.

DVD-A is the future format, always was and always will be. CD is already had its day and if you ask any manufacturer how hard it is to get a CD transport these days you would know. Luckily DVD transports are compatible with CD's!

Sony is a four letter word for a reason, and yet another exploitation of the buying public buy Sony with a technology which was dead end from the day it was released.

Until you have a compatible standard digital output on any of these new technologies they technically don't exist, so DVD-A really does not exist yet. Its in mid birth.

Oh! and by the way, the improvement in the formats had nothing to do with expanding bits, but expanding channels.

Its likely the thought of a spinning disc and all its problems will be laughable concept ten years from now.

Why am I always forced to explain the obvious!

What is a DVD? Its a CD that holds more. DO YOU OWN A COMPUTER?

CDrom or DVDrom?

And Danlib what kind of transport does your universal player have?

You guys are funny, try thinking a little about the world not your little world.

CD's will not need to coexist with DVD's much longer, as DVD transports will be the only available transport. So why stay at 16/44.1 with redbook's slightly flawed allocation of bits? Are you going to tell me now that 24/96 PCM 2 channel is going to be inferior to 16/44.1?

My name has nothing to do with my ability to discern sound and quality of systems. Nor does it reflect any limitation to my desire to have the best sound at my house.
Since my two channel system easily surpasses yours Danlib, you may want to think about why I listen too 2 channel CD's in surround

PS: Don't bring a knife to a gunfight.

Guys!

1. I know CD sounds great, my CD's sound awesome love them, bought about 70 CD's in the last three weeks.

2. When I say DVD-A what I mean is audio on a DVD, 2 channel, or multi-channel.

3. Danlib has an excellent system, F30 dollar for dollar one of the best full range speakers on the market. But my example was about considering the potential of surround if my two channel system surpasses his. If you can't imagine, then you must investigate.

4.I'm a dealer

5. Car Stereo's use DVD drives now soon all transports will be DVD compatible.

6. 24/96 established as the current bit/oversample rate.

7. Copy protection issues limiting DVD-A development and market proliferation, sad story of corporate greed.

8. DVD-A does not mean multichannel to me, it means 24/96 audio

9. Sup Pabelson, thank for the additional info

10. I need a girlfriend, cause I have too much time to post here.

Later guys.
