Hi Roman,
I definitely see a wide market for DSD, though maybe not in the next
month or 2 :) The steadily increasing consumer fascination for
compressed audio formats and more recently downloadable music I believe
is responsible for SACD (and DVD-a) having an extremely slow start.
However, after the technology fascination fades, I do think (at least
hope!) the general consumer will desire higher quality - certainly the
classical music crowd, such as myself.
I prefer SACD/DSD since it is a step forward in audio technology, as
where DVD-a is an enhancement which may be suitable today, but I don't
feel it's a long term replacement for the CD. The actions of music
distributors isn't the fault of SACD or DSD :)

that would be really interesting if that would work to have DSD format
streams on PC or Mac OS playing (and documents on the HD... !), it is
hard
to imagine from what i know about it.
do you really see a market for this format ? sony sells SACDs since
years
and they only offer a few thousand titles until today. their SACD
burner
costs USD 6000, mainly to prevent piracy but thats also why the avarage
consumer doesnt buy players - because they dont record :)
SACD is the next big f*ckup of the music distributors, after DAT and
DMC.
no wait, thats already napsters .wma ...
