Is the super audio cd going to eventually replace cd's and vinyl in the DJ world?

sigh, NO

has cd replaced vinyl yet? NO!
So why would sacd?

probably coz SACD's might be able to reproduce sound quality similar to that of vinyl ? not sure tho n too lazy to read up but that could be a reason =)

oh god don't start that "vinyl vs cd" debate again ...




and in response to the thread SACD's are too rare, too expensive to operate, too proprietary. They will "never" be used for djing.

impossible

Cd/digital media is limited by a sample rate.
Vinyl is a pure unbroken waveform, and as such is not limited by sample rate.

Yup. Can't ever get that analog "warmth" from a digital source...

a tad wrong with electronic music... since all our music is made on computers i will instantly become digital if you want it or not. then when its put onto cd there will be a finite sample rate which can easily be put onto cd. the only thing right now that is preventing cds RIGHT NOW being as good for electronic music is the industry standard 44.1kHz. if they did elecronic singles with higher sample rates then the cd version will me as good as cd.

there is a differance with cd's and record sound but it is a very subtle differance that is not very noticable. to choose one over the other is mearly personal preferance.

I'm more interested in the surround sound aspect of SACDs and DVD-Audios.


Puts a whole new dimension to sound.

in case you haven't noticed, sacd and dvd-audio haven't really attracted the consumer market. And as of date, there's not a single dj cd player that can support the formats. Just let it die like sony's beta.

The irony is that Beta is one of the strongest Pro formats on the market today

The reason why it didn't work back in the 80s is because the videotapes didn't exist for long time lengths ( max was around 60 minutes I believe )

Today go into any TV studio, Beta is the standard format.

He brings up a valid point that beta is very prevalent in the pro market. Just because the general main stream consumer doens't pick it up doesn't mean that pro audio can't either. I think that surround sound will bring a huge challenge and huge advancement in the industry. Just imagine being able to tweak all 360 degrees of audio. It would be sooo awesome yes its still probably 5 years away but still I could see either SACD or DVD audio taking over.

You are talking about the "Beta SP" and related pro TV video formats which are not the same as the consumer Beta and Betamax tape that is now obsolete. The formats are different although the names are similar. There aren't any consumer Beta VCRs in commercial TV studios but there are Beta decks costing $10,000 - $40,000.
