But, they don't plan to record the epic Eighth (Symphony of a Thousand) until 2009, and they usually wait at least a year before releasing the discs.

Given that they went through the trouble of recording and mixing all the performances in multichannel DSD and already released the other eight Mahler symphonies in 5.1 SACD, it would be a shame if the final release was limited to two-channel CD.

SACD's flatlining, but I doubt that K2HD will have any part of further deep sixing the format, given that JVC's K2 releases (i.e. XRCD and XRCD2) have been around longer than either DVD-A or SACD.
One thing that might help SACD is that Sony set out to make it an archival format,
also its something completely different, not just another PCM codec.
it actually makes a sine wave with ones and zeros.
What really irks me is that all of the so called "audiophiles" have been trashing
redbook for years, heres an authenic hi-fidelity format and they stay away in droves
