Another sign SACD is dying


I went to Best Buy to purchase some SACDs and after searching for the special section containing sacds and xrcds without success, I asked the salesman where they were. He informed me that they were all removed since dual disc is now the rage. WOW!

It seems to me the most natural delivery method of hi rez audio is via on-demand satellite or broadband. Considering the bandwidth necessary to send an HDTV signal, there is surely sufficient bandwidth to send hi rez audio, and it would seem this would be cost effective for the recording and distribution companies. I don't believe the future of hi rez audio...or any audio format...lies in software that will be purchased off the shelf or delivered by the UPS driver.
This is already possible via the DAC in the CARY 306 SACD player.

What's the source of the hi rez SACD software? I'm not aware of any satellite or broadband service transmitting SACD or DVD-A audio.
geez guys, remember, sony music is not owned by sony anymore(the blue ray guys)......look at the release schedule for sacd. duran duran and yo yo ma
Sorry...you are right .There is no SACD available via broadband or satellite....however the music that is available VIA broadband,cablebox,mpeg3 and computer can be run thru the DAC on the CARY.The abiltiy to source it with sacd,hdcd,cd and non software sources makes it a good choice for managing all the various digital sources available today....add a decent analog frontend and you have all the formats covered.
