Yes Bon Jovi has switched from SACD to DVD-Audio and you worded it quite nicely.Actually it looks like all new Rock/Pop Universal titles will be on DualDiscs with high resolution for the near future. The only new Universal SACDs I've seen lately are re-issues from the Mercury Living Presence catalog.
I read by Spring of next year there should be over 1000 DualDiscs and new equipment (CD, DVD and universal players) will be proudly displaying the DualDisc logo indicating the are fully compatible. I will upgrade my DVD-Audio player then and try a few DualDiscs.
Also Classic Records is releasing 2 DualDiscs:
John Heard / The Jazz Composer's Songbook
Classic Records / Straight Ahead Records CD/DVD 24/96 Dual Disc $19.99
This second effort by Straight Ahead features Zane Musa on Alto Sax, accompanied by Danny Grissett on piano, Carltios Puerto on bass, and Lorca Hart and Tony Austin on drums.Zane Musa / Introducing Zane Musa
Classic Records / Straight Ahead Records CD/DVD 24/96 Dual Disc $19.99
