What after the old CD player? CDP, SACD or DVD-a?


I am not current with the "format wars," so what would be the wisest suggestion? Another CDP, SACD or DVD-a. What is the news on the "front", who is winning? Thanks!

I was interested in SACD and DVD-A when the formats came out, thinking the redbook standard was so aged that we were due for an upgrade. I looked into the software availability and found the selection was limited and almost exclusively classical and jazz recordings. I decided since the source material wasn't really to my tastes I'd wait and see how things developed. I re-looked at the SACD offerings lately, expanded library and plenty of stuff I'd consider buying but...the SACD's are three times the price of redbook CD's. Buy some JVC XRCD releases, listen to some records, and wait out the storm.
