Pages and pages of SACD RCA Living Stereo stuff, and even a long article about multi-channel becomes a hymm to SACD. Merry Christmas to us!

Of course, it does include HP's Workshop, in which Harry concludes that the RCA and Mercury SACDs don't sound very good.
And why the necessity of a dig at DVD-A? This "my format's doing better than your format...nyah-nyah-nyah" garbage is about as childish as it comes. Many of us have universal players, you know, and don't really want to see either format die.

  Just hold on to your whole notes a minute sir.
  The rest please? It is a discussion about whether Meitner or dCs is better for decoding SACD--he prefers Meitner.
  Yes, I feel bad for the poor DVDA guy who wrote a letter to the Ed about the dearth of even any discussion about DVDA in the mag--how horrified he must have been to find this issue is saturated with SACD stuff. Even a "Golden Ear" award for Sound Mirror, LOL.
  I have a McCormack coming with DVDA playback capability. I too, hope it doesn't become as useless and vestigal as my Coccyx. (That thing at the end of our backbones.)

    ...it's pretty serious what the article tacitly suggests about the future and even present relevance of DVDA. Look where we're at now in the DVDA/SACD argument: We have an expert discussing his preference for SACD decoding, (Meitner vs. dCs), and no discussion about DVDA at all. If we're going to wall-paper a room and SACD is red wall-paper and DVDA is blue wall-paper, and we're at the point where we're arguing over *shades* of red....
