Is SACD a dead format?

I ran out to Best Buy today, and picked up about 15 SACD's at dirt cheap prices. Both the SACD and DVD-A sections seem to be on closeout.

Soundwise, SACD is much easier to listen to than redbook on my rig. Although the meitner is very very good on redbook, SACD, when mastered correctly, to my ears, is on a different level.

I noticed the Bill Evans sacds must no longer be in production. They are approx $28 on Amazon. I can not find them anywhere in the brick and mortar stores, most importantly, my local cd/record shop that always has everything.

Jayctoy, I don't have experience with more expensive players but I have a Pioneer 563. It is hard to tell a difference between this player and my Njoe Tjoeb.

Never bought a SACD player, DVD-A player, nor any software in either format. Never will. Like Plinko, I'm happy with my Njoe Tjoeb. I'll trade my BetaMax for your redbook CD's. Wanna? Wanna? Please...

I don't think these formats wars really have anything to do with sound. If you look at the general buying public, do they care about a hi-rez format? No, they care about convinence. When the 8-track came out, it was convinence. Then the cassette tape-convinence over reel to reel and records.
Now look at CD (the perfect sound forever) and it was the convinence of the format that drove it to what it is. (We could also say the same about VHS to DVD.)
How many people in this country participate in this little hobby of audio? How many people country wide have equipment that will let them know the difference?
When SCAD came out, it did not offer any convinence over what was already available. Look at this post at the number of people who say they can't hear a difference (which is mind boggling to me personally.)
This relegates SACD to a niche product for us anal rententive audiophiles. Will it continue to die, probably if manufacturers are basing its success on sales. Maybe it will go as the record, there will be limited production.
I don't think DVD-A will be any more successful for the same reasons. How much is this smallest segment of the population (audiophiles) worth to big business?
I think we should be worried if 2-ch will survive myself!
