Notice how many SACD collections for sale?

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.

Lets bury the SACD then, who will attend the funeral?
I invite all of you, who are not supportive, and pessimistic
on SACD format.Attire,Red on top, and pink pants, and
blue shoes, mandatory green hair, dye your hair with
caution.SACD R.I.P.

Bang on Stanhifi. . . SACD format is dying slowly. . . and so are you, and I, . . . and the Sun! A wake for the Sun is planned 4 Billion years from today. . . . at least there is a verifiable prediction on it. SACD may not last til then, but it may very well outlast you and I instead!

I put SACD to rest earlier this year. I have decided to maximize my redbook playback. I already unloaded all of my single sided SACD's and am slowly getting rid of my hybrids. It was a nice ride, got me into Jazz music.

Bye. SACD ain't no great success but it's still dandy and I, for one, will be enjoying the ones I have and the new ones (3 today!) for a long time.
