New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

SACD and/or DVD-A are inevitable because....

Both have copy protection. It is clear that the record industry can't continue to sell CD's given the ease of copying them. Like it or not they have to have a copy protected format to survive. Attempts at copy protecting CDs have failed so far. Although the watermark on DVD-As may be audible it is clear that even SACD proponents (Teresa and Chris) have trouble hearing it on very good systems. Obviously, the best copy protection system for us is that instituted by Sony for SACDs as there is no audible distortion. But John Q certainly won't care either way.

He won't like the fact that CDs are going to disappear and they won't disappear soon. I think we are looking ten years down the road. But the record companies have to get out of the CD business if they are going to survive.

BTW watch Congress and the Executive branch. Record execs just met with Ashcroft last week and demanded a stop to peer to peer file sharing. Hollywood is scared sh__less and trying to slow progress on HDTV because of copying concerns. Things are about to get bloody.
