In Reply to: Is SACD dead? If so why are they still being produced. posted by oldcrow on May 14, 2007 at 17:03:55:
Neither it is dead, nor it is going to win against other formats.It has won against DVD-A.
It has firmly occupied the niche of high quality audio. This niche is minuscule compared to that of MP3 music, but it is sufficient to sustain the format. On the other hand, SACD is in no danger of being replaced by higher resolution formats in the near future.
SACD players are available in all price categories. Many CD and DVD players support the format.
SACD and CD are like stereo and mono LPs at their time. Compatible, with a little bit more to be paid for a superior format. With costs of SACD manufacturing going down, hybrid SACD may gradually replace CDs like stereo LPs eventually replaced monos.
