Interesting that he is planning to do away with SACDs by the end of the year.

Thanks, I didn't bother following the entire thread.

This is a sad thing to read.

What a bizarre antiquated site that is!? It's interface reminds me of a dial-up BBS from the 1980s, pre-the-internets. It's truly dreadful.

I think he will find it interesting for his sales numbers if he does that. I'm sure others will pick up the slack.

Wow, it's a huge blow to the future of the format when the boutique-y classical labels start running for the hills. Linn appears headed in the same direction....

This does seem to be a significant development. By virtue of their partnership with one of the few world-class orchestras / conductors actively being recorded for SACD, Channel is one of the most important SACD labels.

And it seems to be a mistake. DSD DACs are still a super-niche item, and I don't think a major change from that is likely. For those of us without a DSD DAC the playback software is deeply mediocre (I use foobar2000, which is fine but hardly user-friendly).

One wonders if this is related to the thread about the cost of DSD downloads...isn't this a de facto price jump for SACD/MCH listeners?
