New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

I remember early on...

24.150.127.20

when many on this forum declared that almost all releases will be Hybrid SACDs. Few here could understand that to increase the cost of discs for a tiny miniscule increase in sales wasn't worth it to the labels. What a huge contrast between then and now.

SACD (or any other high resolution audio format) will never be mainstream. People just don't care, and are willing to sacrifice quality (if they even notice the drop in quality) and go with MP3.

Beating DVD-A isn't exactly a big deal either.

The same thing is happening now with Blu-Ray vs. HD-DVD. The winner of that format war will win a niche market. This niche will be larger then Hi-Rez audio, but will still be a small drop in the bucket.
