I agree with Boblinds. SACD and DVD-A are superior to CD in many ways. (The surround aspect is only one superiority. Increased sampling rates yield sound that finally exceeds my old direct-to-disc lps.) Unfortunately, the general buying public doesn't value high quality. They're impressed with the high quantity of "thousands of songs" on their ipods and mp3 players. People who buy Outlaw products are unfortunately a very small minority of people that watch television and/or listen to serious music. I'm frankly, not hopeful on the eventual success of any "boutique" medium whether sacd, dvd-a, or hd-dvd. The hardware will be there but the software won't due to lack of demand. Convenience of format trumps quality of reproduction.
That being said, right now there is a plethora of wonderful software. Anyone else hear the new Sonoma sacd called, "Music for Brass, Organ and Timpani"? Sublime!
