Not quite true. A neighbor of mind have always disliked the way his CDs sound when he played it on his Sony HTiB. Then I put in the Depeche Mode SACD and he was blown away.

I've no idea what the first half of this paragraph is about. But hybrid SACDs can be played on any CD player.

Read the bolded sentence. Then read the rest of your paragraph. Think before you respond.

DVD-A are already priced higher than regular CDs. Some of it have lyrics, videos, and bios. Yet you don't see a huge influx of people getting it. Launching a BD-A format is not going to get scores of people into HD audio - not unless the music labels back it 100%, which was why SACD and DVD-A didn't take off.

well, you know why people don't buy these albums? because they don't have the big hits, end of discussion. I've seen albums on SACD that I've never in my life heard about, seen on cd stands, or heard. and why did you write "think before you respond" ? don't understand that at all

and what was the thing about me blaming sacd about the lotr release? what blame? i simply said that they didn't have it, and that dvd-a did. big woopty dooh. point i was making is that that's the only big score released on either format, and that's why i can't embrace them anymore, they have nothing to offer me, NOTHING.
