SACD or DVD Audio, which one is winning the race?

Oh, no! Here we go again... I do not mean to imply any offense, but PLEASE read the archives.

For me,go with SACD.

What I've been seeing here is mostly opinions; but what I really want to know is if anyone has gotten any info, a real market info, as to which format is winning at this particular time and at approximately what margin, preferably in percentage or ratio. Opinions do help but I want a real objective market trend 'cause I'm more interested in knowing the chances of survival of these formats than their respective qualities.

Why pick sides? Go with both using low cost equipment until the dust settles. Even a low cost DVD-A gets you 24bit 96Khz, which in practice seems as good as the SACD DSD coding. (Actually in either case the sound quality depends mostly on how the disc was mastered). For one thing, at the present time you need access to both catalogs of media.

Fact: there are far more SACDs available than DVD-As. There appear to be a lot more classical and jazz SACDs than DVD-As (but I can't confirm this). Fact: there are hybrid SACDs; there are no hybrid DVD-As yet (to my knowledge). Fact: DVD-A is undergoing a major marketing restructuring, presumably to save it from death. Fact: more small labels support SACD than DVD-A. Consensus: SACD is more of an audiophile format than DVD-A; DVD-A is more of a HT/MC format for consumers than DVD-A.

But ponder this fact: in tha past 30 days I've (gone kinda crazy and) purchased about 40 CDs. Three of these were SACDs, all albums I really like and already had on CD. Three out of 40; there isn't much else out there that interests me that's available in SACD that I don't already have. I'm reducing my stake in SACD for the moment after realising most SACD players are mediocre redbook players and that a really good redbook player can sound virtually as good as SACD (something like the Resolution Audio Opus 21). I've got far too many CDs to accept mediocre redbook. To give credit, a few high-end SACD players can be remarkable in both formats. I'm also a strict two-channel guy so MC isn't important.

Based on the facts, and the experience, I chose SACD over DVD-A. In hindsight, I would probably have waited longer to jump into any high-rez format. Lots of redbook to enjoy on a good player.
