Several years back (actually, almost 4) I purchased my first, and still only, SACD player. I was delighted with the improvement in sound the SACD layer had over the CD layer, and couldn't understand the almost universal disinterest in the audio community for the format.

There is another site dedicated exclusively to the discussion of the format, and releases made in it - sa-cd.net - that just celebrated its 10 year anniversary. That says quite a lot about a "dying," and "best left forgotten" format, I'd say.

Still, I rarely ever see mention of SACD's on audioreview's pages, almost as if the format simply doesn't exist. There's no doubt the vast majority of SACD releases are classical, but to ignore such a sonically superior format seems somewhat counter-productive for an audio-based website, such as this.

Just a thought...
