"What surprises me is that audiophiles, who are rightfully disdainful of mp3's, have not embraced SACD's."I think the tradeoff is resolution versus "digital fatigue".... MP3 lacks resolution, high-rez formats are too fatiguing.... The Redbook CD strikes a happy medium for me.
Although I also think the "ideal" digital source would have a sample rate of 50kHz and utilize a word length of 18 or 20 bits. I think this would be sufficient resolution to be virtually indistinguishable from high-rez (in short-term listening), yet a lot more listenable than high-rez.
