if you think audio dvd and sacd are going to be offered side-by-side on japanese players, you just don't understand the politics. ain't gonna happen.
SACD vs DVD audio vs 24/96..??
Now that there is SACD player #3 (Marantz SA CD-1 for a mere $7500) with a whopping 24 titles to choose from in SA-CD format, and 24/96 & DVD just coming in to age. What format will survive? Will they RIP like the Sony Beta video, or DAT formats and the MD formats? Will the audiophile of today have the saying "Long live the 44khz 16 bit format", as we said 15 years ago "Long live analog"?
