Harry, I really do not know what you are trying to sell. 

The only advantage SACD and DVD-A have over the CD is
surround sound. Ironically, Dolby Digital and DTS can do the
"subjective" job in that area as well as the so-called
high-resolution formats. In addition, a good, home-based DSP
synthesizing device can take a two-channel CD and often make
it sound subjectively BETTER than the remastered SACD or
DVD-A version, which, if we are talking about older original
releases, are often taken from two-channel masters and given
the DSP treatment by the recording engineers prior to
producing the new version. Note that this refers to
concert-hall realism with classical material and not pop
recordings that often have instruments all around the
listener with SACD and DVD-A versions. Obviously, no amount
of home-based DSP work with the two-channel versions can
duplicate that. But who here with any musical taste cares?

In any case, the dynamic range and extended bandwidth
"advantages" of SACD and DVD-A are meaningless
embellishments to an existing digital technology that needs
no such thing to make music sound more dynamic or
transparent.

Phoniness has finally taken over audio.
