The part about there being more new SACD/DVDA new releases now than more new vinyl **releases** now is incorrect, there is a ton of brand new LP edition issues right now, way more than SACD or DVDA combined. Most of these are high end LP reissues of legacy music, but that's what people want anyway, not new 2009 music recordings.

I have a few remasters and one modern SACD recording. If I heard any difference between the CD and SACD layers I'd probably put it down to the mastering processes rather than the format. I only bought them because I can. The unfortunate thing about SACD and DVDA is that they hit the market right about when the whole plastic-disc format began its decline, and having two formats competing against each other doesn't help with adoption (as we also saw with HD-DVD vs BluRay).
