In Reply to: RE: MP3s and Ipods killed SACD/DVD-A; what's the equivalent for video ? nt posted by oscar on July 02, 2007 at 19:50:22
Even without MP3s, those formats wouldn't have caught on. Nobody was interested in better audio. Apathy killed them-we'll have to see about the video equivelent.

Follow Ups:
Is what IMHO were the chief reasons why it didn't go further. Even though a CD layer is now included on a hybrid and at very little add'l cost and most agree on the hi-rez forum the SACD layer exceeds the sound of the CD is basically irrelavant I suppose for most.
I suppose the addition of another player didn't help matters but there is a double whammy with HD video because one also needs a display capable to show distinct differences.
But that's probably only because I haven't reached a certain minimum threshold of vinyl collection to warrant a TT/phonostage investment.
That musical niche has wholeheartedly embraced SACD, and many of its small labels are still making SACDs, AFAIK. Classicstoday.com still wites reviews of them. :-)

Still I'd bite on "pure DSD" titles of first rate Symphonies (e.g. NY Philharmonic).
