SACD - Is it happening yet?


I'm thinking of buying a SACD Player, but I still afraid of spending money in a new format which may not "happen". Is SACD a reality or its future still unknown? What about DVD-A? Only one of them can survive?

Sony did announce 10 multichannel SACDs, but several are already released in SACD like Kind of Blue, Titanic, and the two Billy Joel SACDs.

Sony stted they would step up the release of new SACDs.

Virgin Records announced they would be releasing more SACDs.
I don't think one must die.

With MP3 and Windows Media, must one die?
With DD and DTS, must one die?
With CD and vinyl, must one die?
With CD and SACD or DVD-A, must one die?

Why must one die???

Sony just announced 11 new SACD players. Three are DVD/SACD players (one listing for $300 and another for $400). All are multichannel.

SACD is clearly on the rise. Read the www.enjoythemusic.com review of the NYC Electronics Show and their take on SACD.
