SACD 2...for those who have not heard


Bad news as far as I am concerned, just what we don't need.

It doesn't make a whole lot of sense for Sony to be pushing their DSD mastering/editing equipment to the audio industry (where they really make some $$$) only to pull the rug out from under them AND the consumers who have bought SACD players up to this point. I still think Sony is ahead on the hi-rez curve when it comes to marketing and the issuing of SACD titles. When I first bought my player at the end of 2002 there were only about 6 titles I wanted to own. Since then they have realeased approximately 6 more (Pink Floyd, The Police, Peter Gabriel, Deep Purple, etc.) That's not too bad for the 8 months I have owned this player. Meanwhile, in the DVD-A camp, they started out with about 8 titles I wanted and that number is now up to about 9 during the same period of time! Only 1 title released that I care to own in the last 8 months is fairly pathetic. Hopefully, this is all just a bad rumor but I'll wait to see how it all plays out. Anyone remember DIVX?
