I would prefer the opposite. I don't think I will ever have the ability to burn my music at home into an SACD. The whole thing is designed so that you cannot do that. There's a thread in lau about dvd-audio, it would seem that that could become a possibility (except for one lossless proprietary codec that is part of the standard, but is optional if I understood correctly). -- Fernando
