It's a matter of servers offering it and clients being configured to actually use it. It'd be nice if they always used it if it's available, but right now I think they all require being told to. Specifically, Mozilla, Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape (all the way back to 4.7x at least), Evolution, and Eudora all support STARTTLS (again, for SMTP). I imagine there are others that do as well. Amusingly, virtually none of them support STARTLS on any other protocol. :) IMAP and POP are almost all supported only on dedicated SSL ports (IMAPS, POP3S). Argh.

SACD is multichannel 16-bit/44.1kHz... so multichannel CD without additional sample resolution (if I recall). SACD is not backwards compatible though, whereas HDCD is. DVD-Audio is really the way to go, though... 24-bit/96kHz multichannel or up to 192kHz two-channel. Lots more bits, lots more samples. It makes a huge difference on pretty good or better gear.
