Uh...because you like music?

You are missing the point, Fitz.

This is not about SACDs. That ship has sailed. That bus has left the station. SACD had its chance and it failed in the marketplace. Hopefully, due to the low cost of providing DSD over HDMI decoding, your SACD disks will play on BD and near-BD universals into almost any processor as is currently the trend. Great for you, great for your SACD collection.

However, FUTURE production of hirez will NOT be SACD. It will be whatever the market decides it will be. The market has already spoken on the future of SACD - it has none. Being an optimist, I look forward to the "new" hirez over HDMI whatever it is called. I am confident that the engineers who were so concerned about the technical perfection of SACD and DVD-A will work their little calculators off again in packing as much capability into the HDMI pipe for hirez audio as they have for hirez video. It is, after all, in the nature of engineers to do so.

Your choice, in the future, will be to remain with CD/MP3 quality music which should be around for a long, long time and/or remain with your limited SACD collection, or to rebuy your music into the new hirez format, playable on BDs over HDMI, fully copy-protected, and, hopefully, a technical tour de force that will be worth all the MP&A we hirezzers have long suffered.
