SACD is superior to CD or MP3. As was Video 2000 to VHS. However, SACD is still no more than a niche product. Until now, SACD has become a competitor to vinyl, rather than the new mainstream digital format. True. SACD is superior to CD or MP3. As was Video 2000 to VHS.

SACD quality is far superior to CD or MP3. SACD is easier and faster to use than DVD-A which requires turning on your TV and using a menu where as SACD no TV is required. You shouldn't have to turn on yor TV to listen to music. True there was no shove by the record industry but there is still time for them to wake up and realize that once people hear music in SACD it is almost impossible to listen to music in the poor quality of MP3s and CDs. Music was meant to be listened to on SACDs. As for HD-DVD/Blu-ray until the cost comes down people will wait. Most people want their satellite and cable companies to add more HD networks and content more than they want HD DVDs. I think you are writing off SACD too early.
