Will Wadio ever make an SACD player?


Curious if anyone has heard rumors, innuendos or other unsubstantiated gossip i can cling to.

People have been saying SACD is dying for years and yet it just continues to grow- when its not around and there are no scheduled release dates, its dead. As it stands now there are over 2700 titles available with plenty scheduled to come out soon.

To answer the question at hand, I suspect Wadia will not negotiate with Sony to get the software needed to bring SACD to there stable.
Sony has basically stopped making new SACD's, at least that what I see posted on several internet sites. That basically is the fat lady warming up in the next room.
The latest failed format, from the company that specializes in formats that don't gain acceptance. Beta, the Elcaset, SACD... the body count continues to grow. It's enough to make you wonder how much a big Sony monitor might cost if they weren't constantly writing off huge losses. Will the blue laser be next?
Don't forget DAT. You're right, Sony does seem to specialize in failed formats. Not bad formats technically, but they don't know how to support it. I've read where they do it on purpose. They would rather have the pond to themselves and have it dry up, then share it. They figure their R&D can always find another pond. They may be correct, from a business standpoint, if not from the customers standpoint. They are pretty much a monopoly. Nobody dominates the hardware AND software ends of the market like Sony.
I don't think they're writing off huge losses. By owning the whole pond, they're cleaning up. Have no pity on Sony, only their consumers.
