What after the old CD player? CDP, SACD or DVD-a?

It appears that there is no winner at this point. I like the availability of Redbook recordings(most anything you want), how ever more then a few good friends have told me that the latest DSD SACD multichannel realises are absolutly amazing. So its not as simple as cd, dvda or sacd you have to add in sacd multi-channel now, that all being said I just ordered a new nearly $9000 redbook player, that's where I am putting my money. Besides the idea of 5 or more speakers sort of confuses me, KISS(keep it simple stupid). ~Tim

I agree with Tim. I am also putting my money into redbook CD. I'm hoping this will still end up being the ultimate standard. Neverless, I still am not ready to replace all my redbook for whatever. Then again, There is always vinyl, but we won't go there. Unfortunately, you don't have the new releases.

Hybrid discs is where it's at. High resolution formats are continuing to make inroads.
