Are SACD discs still being made? Are they an evolutionary dead end? I do not see them in stores like Best Buy. I would love to buy a nice SACD player to replace my CD player but I'm concerned that SACD hasn't taken off and never will. What do you think? Any advice?
some cd hardware is prefereable to sacd hardware. that is, some cds may sound better on some dac/xport combinations than some sacd discs played on some sacd players. one needs to find a high quality sacd player to appreciate the advantages of an sacd disc. i suspect there are some older sony players or modified sacd players which bring out the best in sacd.
Agree with Elizabeth. Can remember when stereo records came out and the stereo was priced at the same level as the mono version or maybe a dollar more, its been awhile. Had Sony done the same with maybe an extra $1 or 2 for the SACD it would have taken off, the sound was worth it.
Rwear - I have a DAC but SACD format is different and cannot be stored on Hard Disk. I can use red book layer but it is the same as buying standard CD.
