  Robert, I too got that message awhile ago and I was so crushed! I was counting down the days too. Hell!!! It's almost FORCING me to have to buy, and fit in an analogue setup in my 11'X 13' HUGE room! lol All I kept saying is Damn! Damn! and Damn! hehehe
  
  If MOFI releases them, I'll be happier....but I'm with you still, I KNOW vinyl will beat these sacd releases.

  ...MoFi probably intervened. Somewhere it was mentioned that MoFi initiated the project and did the original mastering, so it would only stand to reason that MoFi/Music Direct wouldn't want the manufacturer also selling those into its main market. I trust they'll still produce the discs, but they'll be released strictly under the MoFi label.
  
  The Pixies and DCD are both on 4AD, and MoFi has Pixies on SACD, so that would all make sense. I just hope I'm able to buy at least three of the DCD titles, Spiritchaser, Into the Labyrinth, and Toward the Within. I was just listening to "Toward the Within" today on LP....extraordinary stuff! Very much looking forward to the SACD's...

    I've got the vinyl, but I was really hoping to compare. The vinyl is extraordinary....

      But the SACD sound and results are superior...

        I'm not scimping either in SACD palyback or vinyl, but I've yet to find an SACD of which I also have vinyl where the vinyl wasn't superior in the end. I was hoping for the DCD SACDs as the care with which they recorded and mastered might just end up as fulfilling the potential of the format....
