SACD on its way out?

In a recent thread, someone said that they had heard that the SACD format was going to be dropped in favor of the DVD-A format. This is the first that I've heard of this. Has anyone else heard of this? ... and what was the source?

Thanks,
Richard

I was at my local Best Buy recently and it was obvious that they weren't restocking DVD-A titles after they were sold out. The SACD racks OTOH appeared to be fully stocked. I have a universal digital setup and would like to see both formats succeed.

SACD format is growing and here to stay for awhile. Want to hear the best possible digital format playback ; SACD is a no brainer choice.

Considering you can pick up new Hybrid SACDs of Dylan & Stones for less than ten bob each, what's the problem? And RCA Living Stereo Hybrids are such a deal at 12. This is good news for SACD, trust me.

I spent 5 years with Sacd, & after 10 minutes with a five grand tubed phono stage pre-amp in my rack all I can say is Hi-Rez Who, What, When??? Bye Bye Sacd! Bye Bye Dvd-Audio! Either way both formats will not be missed by me! Sony/Phillips keep trying!
