John brings up a good point. The majorty of SACDs on the market are 2-channel, which both the 861 and 568 already support.

Every modern PC in the world with a DVD-ROM drive can also play DVD-A with a new sound card. It will soon be in cars. DVD-A will be in $100 DVD players this year.

I don't know Andy may have said, but I do know what Bob has said over and over, no SACD. Bob probably has all final say-so.

If Meridian did an SACD player, it would probably convert to PCM. That would be just as bad as not supporting SACD to most of those who support SACD.
