Is SACD dead?


Is SACD as a format dead?

Not if you listen to classical music. I still cannot keep up with all the new issues.

I would suggest you peruse the archives on this subject as it has been discussed to the point of exhaustion.

This SACD dead post pops up about every other week. Check the archives. It's not dead because I can still buy SACDs at several different stores (not on the discontinued rack either) and we are still talking about it. So, it's very much alive. The future? Well who can predict that?
Did Audio Asylum already meet its quota for "SACD is dead" threads this week? As long as you listen to classical music and jazz and you are willing to purchase a SACD player ... no, it's not dead. As Kal said, it is tough keeping up with the number of new releases.

Don't forget jazz, either...there are a decent number of both new releases and older re-releases that I find worthwhile. I probably have 20 such SACDs as well as the significant volume of classical music available on the format.
