RE: Why is HiRes Download more expensive than physical disc ?

Since the beginning of SACD, We have had to accept that 90% of the buyers were not interested in the SACD. They were very happy to just listen to the music through the normal cd layer. This also meant that the customers were not happy about having to pay for the extra special jewel box, extra glass masters and pressing of the two cds together. This meant that we (at least Channel Classics) had to pretty much keep the same price and accept less margin on the sales of SACDs.
Finally with the downloading of DSD files, we could set the price at where it should have been since the beginning. OK, there is less costs of physical cds, but the cost of building the site, storage, download costs, and customer service actually brings the costs even higher. It is simply not so simple!
