Notice how many SACD collections for sale?

Hmmm....5 SACD titles from Sony between 12/20/05 to 01/03/06, with another 2 possible. Then Telarc will add another SACD title in January 2006, followed by another 10 RCA Living Stereo SACDs for February 2006.

It's kinda dying.

With more than 4000 available and so many new ones in each Music Direct listing, hardly dying.

Tbg,

Where did you get the 4,000 number from? Just curious. sa-cd.net currently list 3,463 titles, as of 12/06/2005. Assuming another 10% of titles are not listed at that site, that still wouldn't be 4,000 titles.

I found the sa-cd net list after I made this estimate based on when 1000, 2000, and 3000 issue were reached.

Do you need a special CD player for the new disks or will any HDCD player work?

Keith Johnson has resurrected Reference Recordings, and all new releases are in an improved version HDCD (he co-developed HDCD) and only
$17 each.
