I second Johns comments. Superior format but unsuported by the big recording companies and the general public for obvious reasons. But I listen exclusively to Jazz and Classical and new releases keep coming. And agree it is and is going to continue to be a small cottage industry for obvious reasons. Chuck |
You are right. I just hope someone continues to release a few titles other than classical and jazz, although I don't mind those. For some reason it seems DVD audio is getting more rock/pop titles. I went with the SACD only player because I had some bad luck with DVD audio on universal players. 1. the menus were horrible to the point I couldn't get discs to play unless I hooked the player up to a television set. Also, I purchased a few discs that sounded horrible. |
I've owned universal players, but never really got in to DVD-A discs because of the reasons you mention, they just didn't sound all that good. IMHO, in general, SACD's sound the best. I say 'in general' because I have heard poorly recorded SACD's and fabulous recorded redbook cd's Have you checked out this site? Plug in the genre of music you are looking for and find out the available titles. Cheers, John |
Walked into Best Buy the other day looking for DSOTM and was surprised to find out they have given up on them as well. There is still stuff available at Amazon and the like. BTW, what are some good classical titles to start the SACD-Classical plunge? Not a huge classical listener but I do enjoy it and I'd love to give it a spin. TIA. |
