SACD releases


Is this format going the way of the do-do bird or what? I just picked up a player and realized the releases have all but stopped - other than some Genesis titles. It looks like Nothing good is slated for the future.

Maybe you should do your homework in advance next time.
FWIW, I still have a SACD player, and a lot of SACD titles. It does sound better, and I cannot imagine going back to a redbook player. That being said, the glory days of SACD are in the past. The last couple of years it's been moving more into a 'cottage' type of industry, not unlike vinyl, meaning minimum release compared to mainstream music. Unfortunately, the public has spoken, and once again chosen lower price over quality.

I've owned universal players, but never really got in to DVD-A discs because of the reasons you mention, they just didn't sound all that good. IMHO, in general, SACD's sound the best. I say 'in general' because I have heard poorly recorded SACD's and fabulous recorded redbook cd's

Have you checked out this site? Plug in the genre of music you are looking for and find out the available titles.

Cheers,
