RE: Don't be so naive

Alan, excellent post! Maybe the post of the year for me concerning reality and perception.

Let's be clear.. there are currently approximately 12,000 SACD titles to choose from, dating back to circa 2000, and DVD-A are STILL being released in deluxe reissue packages AND in new releases. Steve Earl's latest album came with a DVD-A. The Jethro Tull and Yes reissues, and many more, came with DVD-As.

SACD is dead as far as major labels are concerned, but it is the realm of the boutique folks like MoFi, Audio Fidelity, and Analogue Productions.

One thing IMO that will slow the growth of any DSD download market is the requirement of a computer for playback. If and when file players can play DSD files from directly connected storage or via a network, that could be a game changer.
