New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

You can lead a horse to water

but you can't make him buy SACDs instead of plain CDs. Your average person doesn't know that SACDs exist, and if he did know, he wouldn't care.

Audiophiles are split into a few camps: vinylheads; CD-is-just-as-good-or-better-heads; and SACDheads.

But audiophiles, even all of the camps combined, are insignificant to the majors. Sony made more on the Spiderman film, even after losing the lawsuit to Stan Lee, than they did on their entire music division. So why should they care about a format that accounts for less than 1% of their unprofitable music division?

The main hope is the small labels. But on the downside, note that Audio Fidelity has given up on SACDs.
