I can't find any in Walmart, Bestbuy- no where. If they're packed in with the regular CD's that'll be like looking for a needle in a stack of needles.
Not that I would buy one or anything (wink) SACD is still #1 in this cat's book.
(edit) in other words- is the format sinking already or is it doing some good in the marketplace?

I just saw some in BB(MD) tonight....perhaps a stock issue.CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

At local Best Buy, DualDisc are somewhat invisible since they are mixed in with all the regular CDs. There isn't a special display for them, like at my local Tower Records.
Kind of off-topic, my local Best Buy actually restocked its SACD section with new titles. I would've never expected to find the SACD of Muddy Waters' "Folk Singer" at Best Buy. -
my bestbuy in greensboro did the same thing danny.
Not an impressive selection but considering Circuit City (blah) doesn't even carry the format anymore- at least not down here.
It's sad really. As much as I love the format- I'm getting to the point now where I just want ANY of the high-rez formats to succeed. Any of them.
(edit) i was drunk when i posted this yesterday. I hope DualDisc and DVD-A die.

I can't stand DualDisc.
The Redbook sides won't play in my Denon and they give me fits when I try to rip them on the computer. I have 1 drive out of 4 drives (on 2 computers) that will actually read and rip the CD-audio tracks. My drives are all top quality too.
My wife recently bought the Dave Matthews-Stand Up! DualDisc because the sale person said it had DTS audio on the DVD side. What a crock. It simply has 2 channel-48kHz PCM audio on the DVD side. I can't really hear much difference.
Its not DVD-A, its not DTS, it doesn't play properly on many players. I think the format is going to fade quickly. We paid $5 extra to get a short documentary. Whoopee!For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore... -
At my CC there is dual disc mixed in with the regular CD's. I don't know how many titles, I just happened to notice one.
