I at least had buy one to try out. Stopped by Music Direct and picked up the Dire Staits xrcd. Will give listen this weekend. 4 yr old permitting.

Why JVC XRCDs are so expensive?
Telarc just reduced the SACD price from $24.99 to $19.99 per disc and average re-issued SONY classical SACD is around $17.00 steet price. I heard someone said the difference of sonic quality of SACD and XRCD is undetectable. For average of classical music fan like me, the $25 per disc of XRCD is just TOO expensive for only 30 to 50 minutes of total time.
