. . . he's definitely not a rumor monger.EDIT: BTW, with regard to the OP on this thread, Jared has been saying he was going to do this for years, so no one should be surprised that he's about to cut back on physical media releases in favor of he-rez downloads. And if you want proof, Jared said so to me and a number of other listeners when he visited my house a couple of years ago. So if you don't believe me, I've got witnesses! ;-)

Until he cites a source or any type of assigned information other than internet chatter, it's a rumor. I don't care very much about his rep.Why are you defending this speculation?

Face it, the era of disc-based music is coming to a close. Maybe it will be sooner, maybe it will be later, but it's clearly inevitable. Sure, maybe disc-based systems can survive (as vinyl has) among a fraction of a fraction of listeners, but as for the market in general, I just don't see disc-based playback continuing to be a factor, barring some miraculous development I'm not aware of. I even wonder whether downloads will survive - the future is streaming, and in many ways, it's already here. Check out Beyonce's latest album, "Lemonade" - exclusively available now on Tidal (and on iTunes only later on). Whether or not Beyonce means anything to you or me, she, by herself, represents a big chunk of the total music market, and I can't see this development (i.e., the exclusive release of a significant new album ONLY on a streaming service, at least for a while) as anything other than a confirmation of the decline in the market for physical discs.
Chris:
Jared has certainly indicated he was moving the company towards downloaded content. No surprise there. If you reread my OP, you will see that what surprised me was that I ordered a Channel disc from amazon assuming it would be an SACD and receiving a dreaded CD. Really a shame too. I was so looking forward to finally having a version of the Lalo concerto on SACD, a real missed opportunity IMO. A Channel cello concerto disc was one of my very first SACD's, so it's a real shock for me to see that label give up on the format. Especially given Jared's appreciation of both DSD recording and Multichannel.

Dave - I see where you're coming from. I have some of those Channel Classics Wispelway recordings (with orchestra and with Lazic on the piano), and they're wonderful!
However, since you mentioned the Lalo Concerto in particular, I very highly recommend the following (on SACD!):
As you may know, I feel that I'm a connoisseur of many of the recordings of babe musicians, but I do have this recording myself, and I can assure you that Ms. Rochat gives an excellent performance which I suspect many listeners would love - even disregarding the booklet cover! ;-)
And as you can see, it's even DSD-sourced. And BTW, the Milhaud Concerto is not bad at all (one of the better Milhaud works that I've heard, actually), so the disc may also satisfy your sense of musical adventurism!
Sorry I was referring to the violin concerto, i.e., Symphonie Espagnole. I do have the Lalo Cello Concerto babe recording you mentioned.
It's available now.
Chris do you know if the multichannel layer of this SACD plays back in 3 channel with a dedicated center channel? Or is it only a stereo mix?
This is a 3 channel recording.
