In Reply to: Is it just me or could SACD be getting a little more attention lately: posted by JBen on March 2, 2012 at 16:33:05:
.... seemed to have collections of CD and/or vinyl versions of the SACDs being reviewed. It seems to me the primary audience for SACDs are the generations which grew up on vinyl, at least initially. And I'm sorry to say, these seem to be mostly old geezer audiophiles who will go the way of the Do Do birds in a few years.
How many of new generation of so-called music listeners are going to spend the time to put down their Ipods and Itunes and listen to high resolution music on a decent sound system ? And how many can stand the possibility of collecting and playing back music on those quaint silver discs rather than computer hard drives/memory sticks ?
I was hoping I'd be able to see concert videos with high resolution audio combined with hi-def video on Blu-ray releases but the results have been pretty sporadic/spotty so far.
Any chance we'd see DSD at 5.6Mhz on consumer media anytime soon ?
