Sean read this.. There was a news article a while back that Sony was going to start converting there production units to all Hybrid. Supposedly they have already converted 2 buidings in Europe for this. I think they realize the same thing, 'just start producing all your CD's in Hybrid'. I've also read other stuff that encourages the progression of SACD. Like mentioned here, studios are setting up SACD equipment, etc. Also when it comes to SACD vs DVD-A, myself along with others i would believe, enjoy good old 2-channel stereo (DVDA seems to be more into multi channel). I like the fact that SACD's are made in 2-channel. that's basically all i listen to. The Mulit-channel really means nothing to me, as far as music goes. When i go to a concert, the only thing i hear in back of me is the crowd making noise, they usually don't have guitar players back in the rafters!
More good news for SACD....
In case you haven't heard..."Darkside" will be released on SACD in march...source:Audiorevolution.com..also Dylan,Police,etc
