failed to support the format. it would have been fortuitous if sony had begun releasing all hybrids that would have had the retailers in a better position. they could have had a special section for SACDs and when the currently new music lost its new glisten, the inventory could have been absorbed in with all the other CDs and sold there.
instead, many people unknowingly bought SACDs and then could not play them at home and had to return them. the stores then had to take a loss.
had SACD been allowed to proliferate, more recording and mixing hardware capable of sacd could have been in more studios, hence more numbers of sacd produced.
like dolby S, too little, too late. dolby S cassette decks were usually high cost items and by the time affordable units came out, cassettes were on the way out. CD may have had a harder time competing had dolby S been properly marketed. perhaps the rbcd standard wouldnt have been the jumping off point and the needed further development of digital technology would have continued to a more logical point.
the lessons of quadraphonic werent fully learned.
