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!

The creator of this post probably was hoping to banwagon a bunch of people into thinking SACD was dead, so he can avoid upgrading his redbook player. It's funny how it turned into a very hopeful outlook for SACD. And this is based on fact not just hype.
Yes Robm321. His another thread is "Too snobbish for SACD as it exists?"...Nice. And he is no where on this thread lately.
With Blu-Ray gaining the edge on HD-DVD, Sony may eventually get its way to slip DSD/SACD in there.
Milpai..."Snobish"?? Actually it seems to me that some SACD audiophiles have a snobish attitude about DVDA, those pesky PCM discs that have so many non-audio features. It's a bit like the way vinyl guys look down their noses at digital.
Eldartford, if you find anyone bash a format - disregard that reply. It is the worst a true audio enthusiast can do.
To be honest with you - I really don't have in-depth technical knowledge about PCM or DSD. But the 2 bosses on either side of my head decide what they like. And if they like something, I better get it, rather than the brain deciding what to get - based on the technical write-ups or reviews. Ofcourse, there are occassions on where the 2 bosses and the reviews match.
Enjoy your music and take it easy.....
