I have also considered that DVD-A has some advantage to the masses as most can be played on any DVD player
And
DVD-A will survive because it is a very flexible protocol, that can offer something for everyone
The flip side to those positions are that SACD has the advantage because they can be listened to in a average car stereo. That is more flexible. A majority of music sales is targeted to the youth of America and the youth mostly care about whether they can listen to it in car as far away from their parents living room DVD player as possible.
