DVD Audio vs SACD?


Time to buy a DVDE player. One of the questions that is plaguing my mind is the choice of DVD audio or SACD which these days influences the choice of manufacturer. Sony and Phillips has an intent to push SACD while the rest of the world via the record companies are pushing DVD Audio.
I know this answer is not easy and I am sure there are strong opinons out there, I would like to hear them.
So who will be the the winner??

SACD probable winner. Average consumer listeners will be slow to migrate from CD's (especially with upsampling) because they enjoy the sound and convenience the way the format currently exists. Hi-end audiophiles will not tolerate watermarking, whether they hear it or not. Moreover, DVD-A is more associated with DVD-V, which is not a primary thrust for most audiophiles.
