Sorry Jay, I just realised you actually had an on-topic element to your
question. With respect to copying Super Audio CDs digitally...
"Built-In Protection
To guard against unauthorized copying, SACD employs
both invisible and visible watermarking on the disk, and
content is encrypted before recording. The SACD
players will have no digital output for the SACD signal."
- http://www.techweb.com/wire/story/TWB19990409S0004
So we're talking an insurmountable equivalent of SCMS zero-copies, with an
option on tracing anyone who makes an analogue copy via the watermark.
(BTW, does anyone know what use an invisible watermark would be?!)
And you thought V2 were nasty... :-)
As for DVD-A, I don't know exactly how that will end up. I think digital
recordings of PCM streams from DVD players are allowed, so DVD-A shouldn't
be any different. But I reserve the right to be very, very wrong.
