In Reply to: I believed in the 4 Phase Sony's Game Plan to replace the CD with Hybrid SACDs, but it's been over 5 years!!! posted by Teresa on January 24, 2005 at 15:36:23:
Sony's plan seems to be to keep in the market $300 SACD players that sound no better then their redbook counterparts ( why, I can't figure) and be too slow to not drop redbook/only versions from the shelves. It makes you wonder if they had a marketing plan at all.If they had made 2 players in the $300 to $500 range that sounded as good as a very good redbook player they would have had something. Mullti-channel SACD was not enough smoke and mirrors to cover up poor analogue output stages and poor trasfers to SACD. Any 2-channel shootout proved that.
We will continue to wait and see what Sony really wants to do with this format. I am pleased that more titles are coming out from new sources, but we 1%'rs who make up high end buyers are not enough $$$ to make a very big difference.
I somehow wish that someone would have tried 24 bit/88.2 as the high rez recording format as standard and distributed it on dual sided discs that would have allowed easier truncation to std CD RedBook. Heck, I'd have taken 16/88.2 which I've heard some prominent recording enginners tried and liked very much.
