And which of the Asylees are you referring to, exactly? You are FAR too healthy! :-)
I more or less agree with you. I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. I'll buy some more SACDs from time to time and will listen to the SACDs I already have, so I need an SACD player. Between those and my CDs and LPs, I'll be satisfied. What annoys me, though, is the self-serving flip-flopping by the audio press and dealers. It would be fine if they said, "SACD is better, but it's dead, so we're going to focus on RBCD". But no. The approach seems to be, "Well, regardless of what we might have said before, we no longer believe SACD is better because RBCD playback has thoroughly reinvented themselves lately and is now better! It's so much better that we now prefer the RB layer on Hybrid discs! Yeah, that's the ticket!"
