Which is Better: DVD Audio or SACD?
Over the past couple of years, there has been argument over what audio format should supplant Audio CD. I would argue that DVD Audio is the more suitable successor. SACD requires a special player, whereas most people have a DVD player already. DVD Audio uses an audio format that uses 24-bit samples at approximately 96 KHz, SACD uses a rather ridiculous 1-bit sample/2,822,400 Hz audio format called Direct Stream Digital. Finally, while hybrid SACDs have a standard Audio CD layer which allows their use in standard Audio CD players, it also means that the SACD layer goes unused. Ergo, by the arguments above, I think that DVD Audio is the superior format.
