I have no doubt that it is true that DVD Audio is outselling SACD. I'm very disappointed in the SACDs that I've purchased. Imagine my chagrin after I ignorantly purchased an SACD and player (which fortunately also supports DVD Audio) and expected to hear full 5.1 surround from it!!! I thought that my amp was going bad, the player didn't work, the speaker connections were bad, etc., etc., etc. and stupidly went through hours of troubleshooting my system. "Gee, my DVD Audio disk gives me all 6 channels, why when I play SACD do I only get 2 or 4 or (if I'm lucky 5)?" "Why does this SACD say "Multichannel" and not 5.1?" These are the questions I asked myself. It wasn't until weeks later that I found out the dark secret, the evil truth: SACD is seriously impared!!! Now when I am asked by people in various stores (I look like an expert to a lot of people when I'm in the CD and DVD sections because I take this all so seriously) whether they should buy DVD Audio or SACD, I steer them on the right course with no doubt about it!! Long live DVD Audio (and DTS)!! Death to SACD!
