SACD
stays alive ! |
|
|
You
probably heard rumors about the difficulties of SACD
to stay alive in today’s digital audio market. It
does not reflect at all the worldwide reality. SACD
has never been a mass market format: it
is a niche format, associated with high-end audio
and dedicated to audiophiles. For instance,
you will not listen the same music with a
SACD player or with an iPod: it is clear That
the different formats are manufactured for
different publics.
We
are very optimistic at DAISy concerning the future
of SACD and let me show you why: SACD is still
thriving in the classical world and to a smaller
degree, jazz and pop.
These labels such as Chesky, Pentatone, Channel, LSO
Live, and 2L are releasing hybrid SACD exclusively
for ALL their releases. Then, most of the labels
such as BMG, Telarc, EMI, Harmonia Mundi, Tacet,
Alia Vox, Arts, are developing their portion of SACD
releases among theirs products. These giants from
the music industry are still maintaining a strong
commitment to SACD which means they believe in this
format for the future.
On the other hand, it is now very easy to buy SACD
via Internet: for instance, companies such Amazon
offers SACD titles exactly such as CD.
Finally, many famous audio manufacturers are now
launching their own SACD players to follow the trend
of these giant labels and the expectations of music
lovers.
To conclude, you can check that many websites have
been created the last few years to defend and
promote the SACD format. If you share the same
opinion as DAISy and the labels mentioned above, do
not hesitate to sign the petition that you can find
on the Web to defend the SACD format.
