This thread is probably making Michael want to jump through his monitor and shake something or someone. His main customer base, the customers that have been supporting Dutton-Vocalion since its inception, long before we discovered him and his affection for surround music, are primarily purchasing his product because it plays in their CD PLAYERS. If he were to change and ask those folks to instead go out and get a BluRay player, no matter how cheap it might be, is an instant way to lose a large portion of his clientele.
Folks on "The Internet" always profess to know what's best and/or better for companies and corporations, but in reality those entities know what their customers want, and in this case, the 4.0 SACD layer is basically a "gift" for us, the motley crew here at QQ and the few other wackos that like this stuff. The CD layer is what it's all about at D-V, and that, my friends, is the heart of the matter.
