.hda files and players will have specs equal to or better than DTS-HD master audio.

I want the quality of sacd and dvd-a but the music selection is way to small (over populated with classical and some other types of music I would rarely listen to.

That makes no sense at all.

First, every SACD player can play all the SACD content + every CD on the market, so SACD provides more content; not less.

Second, if you are talking only about Hi-REZ content --- well, any audiophile interested in hi-rez is hardly going to be playing mp3 files off an iPod, are they? rofl. don't think an iPod's D/A converter will do anything better than CD quality anyway. And, since a standard SACD file is about 5 gig in size, even if you could get such content onto your iPod, you'd only get a few albums onto it before it is full.

Third, there are now over 5500 hi-rez SACDs on the market from over different 440 labels. That's exponentially more hi-rez content on SACD than ALL the other hi-rez formats combined (DVD-Audio, hi-rez downloads, Blu-ray audio), which total in the low hundreds. SACD might be small compared to the whole CD industry, but in the hi-rez world, it is king. ]]>May 3rd 2009 12:41PM
