What happened with the SACD format?

0 to very little music released on SACD that is of my personal interest.
Felt no need to invest huge dollar to SACD playback of just few items when SACD was bloomin. It's too audiophiliholic.
Purchasing releases just because them sound good not my bowl of soup.
Reselling them is waste of time and storefront space.

According to the www.sa-cd.net web site, there are now over 9,500 SACDs on the market with more being released each week.

Clearly the SACD format continues to have fans out there! :)

I remember when Sony first released the format and had demonstration kiosks.
I first listened to it and said...whats the big deal. I did ultimately buy in and have
a rather large SACD collection, and while I liked the well recorded ones on my
OPPO BDP-105, I was not blown away with the sound difference. Recently I
purchase the Esoteric K-01 and now SACD’s are what I mostly listen to. The
difference between rebook and SACD is revealed by this player. Its huge! Thus,
as is obvious, I’ve concluded the benefits accrue to those with revealing systems.

Skinzy, most people don't know what you do-and never will. You're lucky to enjoy that Esoteric..

Re Skinzy: I recently acquired an Ayre C-5xeMP that I'm using in place of the Sony XA5400ES for stereo (an Oppo BDP-105 does surround and HT). DSD sounds superb, but that's no surprise. The surprise is that CDs sounds so much better with the Ayre.
