Any deviation from Redbook means a new format. New players, new software (discs). It’s a vicious circle - in order for a new format to succeed, people have to buy both enough of the discs And enough of the players. If not enough people are buying the discs, they will forget about making the players and/or if not enough players are being sold, they will forgo making the discs.
From what I can see SACD is dead, as is bluray audio and possibly DSD....I dunno what could be next...until the music industry finally breaks down and embraces downloads, presumably that’s coming eventually, but when...who knows.
