The future doesn't look bright for DVD-A or SACD. If nothing else, I think
us people nowadays are far less likely to spend on audio as if it's a hobby,
and pursue the (supposedly) more refined stuff.
Of course, that's probably also due to things like MD being so easily
available.
A proof - Nakamichi nowadays survive on computer peripherals and car audio,
the same company who sold decks that recorded up to 20kHz on a cassette back
in 1973. :)
SACD, AFAIK, is supposed to sound more analog-like, without losing fidelity.
There are people who think digital audio in general sounds too "hardened",
and heads off into vinyls/cassettes. Don't ask me to explain their
rationale. ;)
