Heard SACD in a couple of demos at a local tweeter store and was not impressed. then heard DVD-A and thought the sound was fuller and more richer especially over redbook CD's. Thats why I'm leaning towards DVD-A and for just $99 I just might take the leap, even if the format doesn't survive it won't be a big investment wasted. Plus you can always use it as a video source. Sounds like a win/win situation.
Thanks!

As a universal player owner the "which is better" is a non issue.

They don't have a sound room that I know of. Hard to compare since you almost cetainly head different discs, unless it was "Gaucho", "Solar Energy", or "Up" (couple others),
I AM NOT saying you are wrong. DVD-A has a very nice sound; I am listening to Ravel's Espagnole on DVDA right now, as a matter of fact. But you might want a better test to se if there is a difference between the two for you; and if the difference is so big that you want to do without SACD capability.
Can I offer a suggestion for the test disc?
Before, you write off SACD, listen IN MULTICHANNEL to "DSOTM". Especially the dynamic range. I don't believe I have ever heard that dynamic range on a CD.

  No it was in the high end soundroom. I believe the disc was a sony SACD sampler, mostly jazz. The player was a Sony with Adcom equipment and heard also with B&K equipment. Not saying the sound was bad just thought it would have sounded better. While in their HT room I heard DVD-A with a pioneer player and Denon equipment, and thought the sound was much better then CD although it was in MC. Anyway I'm going today to buy the Panasonic!
