The main point is that CD's specs are high resolution and CD sound has been improving *rapidly* since the early 1990's. Knowing these two things, why did any audio expert and/or theorist ask for a whole new format ? SACD was created to replace the royality profits of a big corporation and confused the parameters for decoding on playback. Even worse, it did *not* sound better than CD, could not be downloaded or ripped to hard-drive (in native form) and had few titles to choose from.
When I say "not better" than CD - it means compared to CD systems costing over 2K. Now that threshold is even lower. Let the truth be known !!!
