Another sign SACD is dying


I went to Best Buy to purchase some SACDs and after searching for the special section containing sacds and xrcds without success, I asked the salesman where they were. He informed me that they were all removed since dual disc is now the rage. WOW!

JAYBO...what do the manufactures say?Are you just speculating or do you have definitive information.Honestly after hearing how good the cary 306 sacd is.I'm having hard time justifying keeping my analog frontend.
SACD (hybrid) will continue to be supported by the smaller labels for the foreseeable future as well as by the hardware manufacturers.

i have worked in product developement for several 'big' indies for the last decade. i also have friends at uni wea, and sony.... its outa here. the focus is all on upgrading(milking)number51 redbook and the internet.
So Jaybo what's the outlook for redbook? Sales going up? Or is that dying too, and where's the thread about redbook dying?

just wondering.
JAYBO...thanks for your info.I don't question that you have heard this from Industry insiders.I just wish we had more definitive info. from other sources...certainly companies that produce SACD frontends would also have access to info. regarding future SACD releases or lack of them.and yet they continue to invest in R&D and market new SACD players. ???
