Keep in mind SACD's are at only 1 bit too (maybe two, it's been awhile 
since I read the specs), so comparing them to regular audio CDs or even 
DVD-A's is not as easy as that. 

SACD vs DVD-A.
The big debate between manufacturer's right now, and even with the 
universal standards orginization.  Right now, neither of them has been 
adopted as "the" standard, so both manufaturing camps are rushing to try 
and flood the market with both, so that the winner will be whoever has the 
most product out there.  Beta vs VHS all over again?  Hard to say.  I've 
heard both and think that they sound comparible (which is to say superb, 
if your playback equipment is up to it!).  Either way, it won't be until 
car audio manufacturer's support one or the other that we'll see broad 
market penetration of either IMHO.  Personally, I'd rather see DVD-A win 
out, as there will be greater compatibility with the DVD-V market being so 
huge now.  Sony should have learned with their MDs....

You know....you are absolutelty right.  Awesome, they
would have to stick to 16/44.1 to keep the redbook cd
standard.  But what do you think about SACDs? They are
2822.4, 64 times regular cd quality...I wonder if we
can actually hear that kinda difference to that degree
with the naked ear.  Think it'll be a new adopted
format...or a flop?  Or will it just take a
while(probably long while)? 

Thanks Realm,

Will
