New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

depends on the music you like

If you like classical music, SACD will offer you much choice. At this time, it is probably considerably easier to put together a good classical collection of SACDs versus a good classical collection of LPs. Because there are just a very few new classical LPs, virtually all reissues. These are usually expensive. If you don't buy these, you will have to buy used LPs. Used classical LPs often suffer from noise. There are plenty of great classical SACDs, easy to get, relatively cheap, and quiet.

OTOH, if you like rock or pop music, forget SACD. There were a few good releases, Rolling Stones, Dylan, now out of print. Really, there isn't much at all. There are plenty of good rock and pop LPs, new, used, reissues.

That's what I would base a choice on. For me, the ultimate sound quality goes to LP, but I rarely mess with them myself, due to laziness.
