I have seen reports that as many as 800 titles are now available in SACD. I counted about 450 or so titles that are available today through Acoustic Sounds as an example, with more coming out every month (or week?). I believe SACD titles still far outnumber DVD-A titles at this time. SACD vs DVD-A comments? Both formats are capable of better sound reproduction than that offered by the lowly CD, but both are still in their infancy. The new hybrid SACD can be played in your CD player, DVD player and your car. This alone may drive it to the top. Why do I believe one or even both formats will survive? Short answer- maybe not so much because they sound better, but because of underlying currents like new profits that can be made on existing catalogs and the fact they might provide an answer to the piracy issues. Another reason? Multi-channel releases. If you've got a 5.1 speaker HT setup, why not use 'em all for music as well. After all, ya paid good money for them- so don't let them feel left out during those listening sessions! Besides, if one or the other became a sort of "audiophile only" format, that would be ok too. Could this be successful? I don't know, but the fact that the LD actually thrived as a niche format for videophiles while surrounded by a sea of VHS releases tells me it could work- even on this level.
