>>It seems to me the primary audience for SACDs are the generations which grew up on vinyl, at least initially.<<

Disagree, in fact, most vinylphiles I know regarded DSD/SACD as just another attempt at attaining another consumer format, one that also required you to re-purchase yet another musical inventory, one with an obvious DRM agenda, put about by a manufacturer who had already "fooled" 'philes via "perfect sound forever".

>>And I'm sorry to say, these seem to be mostly old geezer audiophiles who will go the way of the Do Do birds in a few years.<<

Well, vinyl remains a major audiophile passion, while SACD ...

At the very least, vinylphiles can hang their hats on not having universally adopted yet another failed format which promised audio nirvana.
