Justicels, I'm at the bottom of the economy in income, but I decided to buy a DVD for the winter Holiday and found the Technics was in the same ballpark as any other mid priced DVD player (now they are $400 at J&R) and the SACD was really a great CD transport choice in the Demo Sony SACD ES777 I got after Stereophile raved about it:(paraphrase)"a bargain just as a CD transport" in an article about the Philips SACD. The Sony was expensive for me even as a demo unit, but it also was one of the BEST investments I have made in listening pleasure. I did not really buy either item to "get into" the new formats, but rather choices that were available for only a bit more than a regular DVD or quality CD player. So I am covered sort of by accident both ways: If DVD-A fails, I still have a really nice DVD player; and if SACD fails, I still have a REALLY great CD player/transport.
Is DVD-A still-born?
Do Audiogon members think DVD-A has been too slow getting off the ground?,a respected journalist in the UK thinks it already dead.
SACD has the lead although many of us are holding off the new formats at the moment.
My fear is that the confusion surrounding the new formats in general may limit their success and our ability to buy the new generation of digital recordings.
It takes time for new formats to be introduced but in the meantime my CD collection grows and grows........
