New member Username: MadhoopPost Number: 1 Registered: May-04 | I'm a newbie in this area and am looking for some advice. I have a harman-kardon receiver/(amp?) in my car with Logic-7. My old cd's sound better than my last factory made car stereo by far, but I'm intrigued with the multi-channel potential for my new system. I try and put a DVD-A and SACD cd in the unit and neither will play. Can anyone tell me if I need a different cd player or what? I believe I have the receiver/(amp?) to produce the multi-channel musis in my car... thanks! |

I frankly would not expect to see one for at least 5 years as I think it will take that long to see who will win the format war going on between DVD-A and SACD. All I can suggest is you get SACDs hybrids, which will play on regular CD players (but often sound a bit better than a straight CD), which will allow you to have multi-channel sound at home. I know the recent SACD of Pink floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" was a hybrid and I recently saw several new Mobile Fidelity SACD releases were also hybrids.

You can count on the fact that the rest of the car companies will follow suit Then there was some follow-up discussion. I posted an external link there on Dec 29. |

Seriously though, I missed that thread. However, I checked the Acura website and looked at the audio systems for all high end models and there is nothing said about DVD-A--just XM Radio, which is where the marketing push is right now. I would love to be wrong on this, but I know how auto companies operate and DVD-A does not yet appear as a blip on their radar. Strictly show car stuff. |
