Notice how many SACD collections for sale?


Does this say something about the state of the medium? Have you pondered throwing in the hi-rez towel?

I have a bunch of SACDs, and I'm not throwing in the towel anytime soon. IMO, when done right, it's the best format out there.
I see more LPS and CDs for sale on any given day but I don't think those formats are on there way out.
I might add that single layer SACD's are dead as Hybrid's have taken there place; as it should be in my opinion. I believe the production of multiple layer discs are where the industry is heading if only on a small audiophile scale.

I guess you could say the same thing about DVD-A, except there's not as many people with collections to sell so it's not so noticeable. :~)

While I think the hi-rez medium isn't likely to replace the CD, either as SACD or DVD-A, I'm very happy to keep getting SACDs as a niche format, much as I am with vinyl; in the classical music area there are more than enough new quality releases to keep me satisfied. So I'm not giving up my SACD player any time soon.
