Blu-ray CD - the future of High Resolution music?

[BluSmoke]

I'm sure someone at the BDA have considered this: There needs to be a true successor option to CDs. SACD and DVD-A are just dumb. It's so rare to own a player, even for a music lover. I love audio and have nearly 200 CDs. I don't own a DVD-A and didn't own an SACD player until my 60gb PS3. I still don't have an SACD.

With Blu-ray as the sucessor to DVDs and machines in millions (and millions to come), I think it would be great if the BDA decided to release the 8cm discs as the high definition replacements for CDs. It has plenty of space, it stands out because of its size and best of all - can be played in all Blu-ray players.

Sony music can try it maybe later this year with its big artists by releasing High resolution discs. For example, a Michael Jackson Thriller in 5.1 or 7.1 mix.

Does anyone have a chart of Blu-ray's audio limitations? Is it 96k24bit max?
