Sony's insistence on issuing SACDs from their catalog in single-layer only seems to me to be a problem in terms of mainstream acceptance. A lot of people like CDs to do duty in their cars or offices or wherever, without having to think about compatibility. Is this a manufacturing cost issue, or is it something else? Dan.
SACD"S for less than CD s
The recent price drop on the Sony SACD catalog got me thinking. Sony is starting to release lower priced SACD players. What do you think would happen if for 6 months or a year they sold SACD's for a buck or two less than a regular CD? Better sound for less money. Would it doom DVD audio? Would it convince enough people to give SACD a try?
