I never got into SACD....

it just never peeked up over the horizon for me. Like a lot of people, I was getting a bit burned out after having bought CD's at over $20.00 each, some up to $25.00.

And around the same time, out comes DVD and now we get to replace all of our VHS tapes. And then, SACD? Hah! Not gonna happen!

As you say, it's too bad that things went the way they did. Of course, what's best for the consumer was never factored into it - what's best for the corporation and the shareholders will always take precedence.

And then, as we can see from popular opinion, many believe that CD sound is just fine, thank you very much. So maybe Sony and Philips did have it right - they certainly had a considerable return on their investment.
