IMHO you can buy hybrid sacd without fear. For those who don't know, they have a redbook cd layer and a sacd layer. You don't need a sacd player to play the redbook layer. The redbook layer, for me so far anyway, has been the best sounding cd version out there. Even if sacd fails, you still can play the redbook layer. You also have the start of a sacd library. Sacd only disc's, however, can only be played on a sacd player. i won't buy them.
SA-CD/DVD-A?
So what do yall think about the future of these formats? I purchased two SA-CD's today Eric Clapton Slowhand and Incubus A Crow Left of the Murder. And I really enjoy both. But the thing is that it seems that their are not many avable at the local stores and Im scared to start a colection of them in fear that players wont play them in a few years and that this collection will be friviolus. But I do enjoy the quality.
