In Reply to: so? It didn't stop you, me or Oscar from adopting SACD posted by Jazz Inmate on September 28, 2007 at 16:59:47:
They had both been in the market several years before I bought into them. I already knew that SACD was a niche technology, and that DVD-Audio was near death. IOW, I knew what I was getting into, and didn't have any false hopes.
Having said that, even though DVD-Audio is dead, I don't think that SACD "won." It merely survives. I'm OK with that.
Unfortunately for all the fanboys, it's unlikely that the current hi-rez video technology will be anything more than a niche or interim step despite all the marketing and FUD thrown around. It does crack me up to watch the fanboys squabble over every miniscule and imagined gain or loss made by their "side" while the dominant consumer technology marches on - just like CD vs. SACD/DVD-A. Some people never learn :-)
