In Reply to: DVD-A vs SACD is a bunch of S**T posted by usafwso on January 3, 2003 at 18:30:14:
It would far cheaper and more practical for both the end-user and the manufacturer, instead of making dual-layer SACD-CD (or DVDA-CD for that matter) hybrids, rather to simply issue a standalone redbook disk, in the same case, along with the hirez/multichannel version.This way:-
(a) There would be no need for complex, costly, and production bottleneck-prone dedicated presses for error-prone dual-layer hybrids;(b) And the end-user could keep the CD version stored in his in-car multi-CD-changer to listen to while on the move, (or in his boom-box changer for workouts in gym etc.);
(c) The retailer would just be able to stock them all in the music-aisle.
C’mon guys, how many of you really like to risk losing or damaging your music discs by taking stacks of them into / out of the house / car every time you undertake or complete a car journey?)
e.g. I have Hotel California on el-cheapo redbook CD (bought for only about £5) in the car CD-changer, while at home my prized DVD-A version is safely stacked next to my Denon DVD-3800 setup. That way, they never get lost or damaged, and they are always exactly where I want them, whenever I need them.
As for in-car music in general, don't most people now listen-out for (a) their mobile phones; or (b) radio traffic alerts; these days, instead of listening to music, while seated in their vehicles?
