SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel

Still some that arent even in English, alot are not even music CD's(or 2 channel)native to this country and alot of these arent even true SACD's with the higher upsampling.

Many SACDs are not native to the United States of America, although that's hardly surprising given that when SACDs were first released only three plants existed - one in Japan, one in the USA, and one in Europe. Sonopress in Germany was the first plant to produce hybrids, so many SACDs came from there. That matters not one iota. It's a global village.

By "true SACD" I'm guessing you are referring to recordings that were made with DSD right through the chain. There have been some, but it is only in recent times that expanded mixers that operate in DSD have become available. We are sure to see many more completely DSD SACDs in the future.

I personally don't think this matters much. I have excellent sounding SACDs made from analogue recordings and various resolution PCM recordings.

Many of your claims -- like this one -- have proven erroneous.

You appear to have one left -- your claim that there are only a few dozen SACD players on the market. But, instead of conceding that you've been incorrect on many counts, it seems you have taken to insisting your only claim left standing was really your "important" one. Let's assume, for the moment, that it is your "important" point.
We will return to it in a moment.

You are also trying to rehabilitate one of your other points -- the one regarding the relative number of SACD's available. But, there's a problem; You claimed DVD-A has more potential than SACD. There are fewer DVD-A titles. It doesn't seem logical to claim that SACD has LESS potential based on the number of titles, then to go on and predict GREATER success for the format with FEWER titles. Wouldn't you agree? Then again, maybe this isn't one of your *important* points. [Sorry -- a little jest.]

I don't really see where you've made any credible points in the debate, EXCEPT your claim regarding the number of SACD players available. But, to those who are currently enjoying one of those SACD players and the titles available, your "important" point would seem to be moot.

Bottom line: *YOU* have made a choice to avoid SACD for whatever reasons. Maybe you have good reasons, but the explanation you've provided here is shot through with errors, shaky speculation and internal contradictions. You should get the facts so you can debate the topic with some credibility and should you choose to reject SACD, you can do so for the right reasons.

Little Milton that link is in very poor taste and will offend a lot of people.
I think you should apologise before you get slaughtered for an incorrect and tasteless so-called joke.

Little_Milton has already proven that his is nothing more than a child, I dont even bother copying his links...........

Rsbeck: I am actually well aware that there are probably even fewer DVD-A audio titles, but how many people own a DVD player today?I actaully dont know anyone who doesnt have at least one. DVD-A makes alot more sense and already technically has better public backing due to this fact. If anything has the ptoential to quickly replace the cd format its DVD-A.
