Point taken on the definition of SACD. Regarding me saying not to buy the units if there's no software to me makes sense. I've looked over the catalogs that SACD offers and I really don't see anything that would make me want to invest in this format to hear a little more detail and a wider sound stage. As far as me never buying another CD player again, that depends on the new formats and how much I want to pull out of my CD's. New format or not, I still have over 500 CD's that I've invested in and instead of spending money on a format that may or maynot become common place, I would rather invest in hardware that would boost the enjoyment level of my present CD's. The only one I would buy would be the Sony 9000 because of it progressive scan capabilities and performance as a DVD player. Although SACD may be impressive, what's the use if they don't have the software to back it up? I believe you should let the software dictate what hardware you purchase.
