I bought Stones Thru the Past Darkly Vol II in SACD/CD and the CD layer sounds pretty darn good not as harsh as earlier releases of old Stones. I also bought the new Fleet/Mac as DVDA and the Dolby layer plays well. I can build up my collection slowly.

Because of the SACD/DVDA split in the marketplace,if people get the idea that a new tech. is not too far away then consumers will be reluctant commit to SACD/DVDA with a perceived with short life. But, since I grew up with vinyl, CDs still seem new to me. It's hard to imagine that CDs' replacements may have an even shorter life but they might be superceded in less than 10 years from first release.
