Thanks everyone and sorry to have gotten off the subject somewhat on this thread.
As for the next generation of players, I agree with the others that software is the main issue right now. Right now (don't laugh) things are good. There are more titles coming out than I can afford to buy. Maybe the selection is sparse considering that not all the new SACD's will be to your taste, but I actually find an advantage in that. I end up buying discs that I might not have purchased had I a better selection to choose from, and sometimes it turns me on to something completely new and exciting.
I still worry that the format won't survive much longer.
