Is SACD a dead format?

Cinematic, All several of us are suggesting is that newer units have made normal redbook much better and that we are sad to see sacd go, if indeed it goes. I suspect that universal players will be with us for many years even if sacd dwindles.

I don't think, "mine is bigger than yours" talk helps much, and I think you should get real and get accustomed to others not sharing your opinion. For example I have many dvdv on one side and dvdas on the other. Frequently I much prefer the dvdv side. And very frequently I prefer the cd version to the dvda version, probably because of the copy protection.

I cannot imagine any reason to have sound surround, and frankly cannot afford to have the quality in speakers, amps, and preamps in the additional channels even were I impressed with mc.

Guys!

1. I know CD sounds great, my CD's sound awesome love them, bought about 70 CD's in the last three weeks.

2. When I say DVD-A what I mean is audio on a DVD, 2 channel, or multi-channel.

3. Danlib has an excellent system, F30 dollar for dollar one of the best full range speakers on the market. But my example was about considering the potential of surround if my two channel system surpasses his. If you can't imagine, then you must investigate.

4.I'm a dealer

5. Car Stereo's use DVD drives now soon all transports will be DVD compatible.

6. 24/96 established as the current bit/oversample rate.

7. Copy protection issues limiting DVD-A development and market proliferation, sad story of corporate greed.

8. DVD-A does not mean multichannel to me, it means 24/96 audio

9. Sup Pabelson, thank for the additional info

10. I need a girlfriend, cause I have too much time to post here.

Later guys.

Cinematic but what music are you actually buying?
Ooops none..you are too busy selling gear.

Take the recent DVD-A REM releases-have you ACTUALLY LISTENED to the stereo 24/96 mixes?The one I heard was worse than the CD version in the same sleeve-wake up and listen please before posting.

As for reality-well in the record shops I frequent everybody is walking out with CD's not DVD-A's.And where does downloading/compressed formats feature in your half-arsed view?DVD-A players are crushing iPod sales no doubt.

Knife to a gun fight?
I get up too early in the morning for you sonny.
:-)

Take it from me DVD-A's future is no brighter (actually less so)than SACD.

Having posted before you got back in Cinematic your claim of 70 CD's bought in the last three weeks contradicts most of your argument.

Now why didn't you buy 70 DVD-A's?

"Since my two channel system easily surpasses yours Danlib, you may want to think about why I listen too 2 channel CD's in surround

PS: Don't bring a knife to a gunfight."

First of all, it's not Danlib- it's Danlib1.

Second- it's listen to- not listen TOO.

Third- Personal digs about another's music system are really not necessary. I could not care less how big your penis is- oops I mean how much your system surpasses mine. I stated my opinion in the post. That's all.

Fourth- "Knife to a gunfight"? Dude- what grade are you in?
