Blu-Ray is the future, seeing that there are 100 million plus PS3's out there and growing. I've tried the first Blu-Ray out, Divertiment by Trondheimsolistene, and it sounds great. Since the latter comes with a SACD version of the same music, you can compare. Sony has the largest library of master tapes from the SACD product. Now, if I can only get them to put out Miles/Blue that will be the test.
Why No New SACD Along With New Vinyl
Question- I don't understand why the companies that are issuing new vinyl releases don't also issue an SACD version at the same time. I assume they are remastering the vinyl and I understand that they sometimes use high resolution digital as the source, so wouldn't it only be marginally more expensive to simultaneously release an SCAD and capture both ends of the high end market?
I personally have a universal player and no turntable and listen to rock, not jazz. I subscribe online to the Acoustic Sounds new releases email. They are constantly reissuing vinyl of 60's - 90's rock, but not the equivalent SACD. I'd buy almost every one in SACD. There must be as many SACD players out there as turntables- why forgo half the high end market for what appears to be marginal added cost?
I'm not trying to start an analog vs. digital discussion. I simply don't understand why this doesn't happen
