SACD II to be Announced in September

Did not see anything. And IFA in Berlin is over as well... I really care about this, as I am not putting down any money for a new source unless there is clarification on the standard.

Digiphiles screwed over by the large Japanese corporations yet again. Big suprise there.

I'll bet krell is pretty pissed of since they just released the SACD standard which they put a ****load of R&D into.

Ah well... maybe this means i'll get a cheap SCD-1 on audiogon.

The SACD Standard has SACD2 support built into it.

I just ordered a long time "want", a Musical Fidelity A3.24 DAC for upsampling standard red-book CD's to 24 bit. That with a couple of cheapie Sony SACD players (NSV500 and NS755) in the house means I think I can JUST hold on till the idiots figure out how to milk us out of the maximum dollar.
Anybody had any experience with the MF DAC? It got a glowing review in Stereophile and I am really looking forward to it.

They are probably waiting until DEC 7 to announce it so it hurts more.

So here we are on Oct. 9, still no SACD 2, sky hasn't fallen. Feeling pretty smug.

A delayed (or non-existent) SACD is not so bad -- first, the idea of adding video to SACD discs (a la DVD-A) is just painful. And also, SACD marketing is confusing enough without adding even more to the mix.
