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!

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.

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.

The same applies to the APL Denon3910.
