"As long as SACD continues to offer jazz and classical music, that is where I am spending my money. DD for music? yeck!"

I am willing to hold out hope that SACD will stay around as a niche format for those of us who do want something better than Dolby Digital music and RBCD. But I'm afraid that they will simply abandon it altogether. If they're not going to make content available to us while they're introducing the technology, what can we expect when they are no longer trying to establish it as a mainstream format? Perhaps if DualDisc comes along and displaces DVD-A completely it will clear the way for SACD to finally be accepted as the standard Hi Rez musical format and that will be enough for studios to get behind it. One good thing DualDisc might accompish, should this happen, would be to firmly establish multichannel mixes as a defacto standard for music. Maybe the same mixes can be used for both DualDisc and SACD, just at different resolutions. Can you speak to the possibility of this scenario, Sir TT?
