Is it because I am exclusively interested (and knowledgeable) about Classical Music that I am rather confused by this article? For all I know, SACD had come out of the DVD-A / SACD struggle alive (if not healthy) -- and DVD-A was left somewhere along the way. That's not glee -- I never had cared much about who "wins" -- but as a buyer of CDs up until a year ago, I saw the death of (classical) DVD-A right before me own eyes. In the end, we had maybe 50 DVD-A titles, but 3000 SACD titles... and that was while the company was doing so badly that it went bankrupt.
Is there really *any* life in DVD-A (software/players) or is Mr. Robinson delusional due to his seemingly earnest realization that DVD-A should have been (or is) the better system on a technical level?

Considering that the highs are actually steeply filtered just above 20k on CD, I find this to be a strange comment. What is the dynamic range of nothing?
Infinity? :)
Are they still making DualDiscs or has that effort been abandoned?

I believe all labels gave up on DualDisc shortly after starting. Even the format's official news page on http://www.dualdisc.com/ hasn't been updated since May 2, 2005, a few months after it opened.
