In Reply to: I believe that SACD is still alive *because* of multi-channel and *not* because of two-channel posted by Robert C. Lang on March 13, 2007 at 13:02:55:
Had SACD or DVD-A at their inception been launched as multichannel formats for automotive surround, the format would probably have reached a large market & achieved critical mass. Hi-rez audiophiledom could have travelled on the coattails of 1000W systems in ghetto low-risers and Mercedes & Caddys with Levinson surround systems. But now it's too little too late for SACD & SACD Mch formats, and SACD Mch is relegated to a tiny niche-within-a-niche in the diminishing market for classical music. No doubt though that SACD sounds great with or without Mch.
