DVD-Audio and SACD - Blu-ray Forum

By saying MP3 was the "winner", I merely meant that despite the quality differences, MP3s are more popular and sell better than the other formats. The convenience of MP3 won out over the quality of SACD and DVDa.
I thought the iPod could play Apple Lossless Audio... am I wrong?
Since I am not a real "audiophile" (but have begun to notice the differences more and more lately) I am not familiar with all that there is in the High Def audio world. I am not willing to spend a lot of money on it, and with my current set up I am more than happy with it. A friend of mine is a serious audiophile who has a pair of $26k speakers hooked up for a $18k CD player, state-of-the-art turn table, and top-of-the-line SACD player. THAT system is beyond anything i will ever have and will more than just amaze me. I am trying to get him to do the whole thing in surround sound for the multi-channel SACDs and Blu-rays too.
I think he would greatly appreciate the quality and the surround sound. He has tons of speakers of all different sizes and shapes, too bad he is not willing to give me a few that he doesn't use much

heh heh

But seriously, I just want something that has higher audio quality than a standard CD but more importantly, surround sound. I just got a Porcupine Tree album on DTS DVD-a. Very impressive but not as much as DSotM is. Still, good enough for me. Is there a future for surround sound music?
