DVD-A has a long way to go regarding the watermark issues. Once that is solved. I believe that that format will prevail. Sony has a great sounding product but as I have seen Sony do they charge too much. Look at the case of the mini disk. Anyone remember these debuting in the early nineties? Sony produced prerecorded versions of their catalog to put the minidisk in competition with cds. What happened? The minidisk failed. Sony gouges the market. HDCD will survive but only until DVD-A solves the watermark issue
