which was announced on December 15 , 2005 .Back on October 7 , 2005 , three days after Talking Heads - Brick ( 8 DualDiscs with DVD-A ) was released , I posted on DVD-Audiobahn that I thought that Brick was " a tremendous triumph for DualDisc , and for DVD-Audio " and that Brick was " the Hi-Rez Highlight of the Year " . ... Well , Talking Heads - Brick was the biggest winner at the 2005 SMA , capturing 4 awards , including " Best Of Show " , and " Best Mix : Non-Orchestral " .
Jackson Browne received the special Surround Artist Of The Year award for his Running On Empty DVD-A .
DualDiscs with DVD-A , and DVD-As , also , won almost all of the other important awards , including :
Best Made For Surround Title : Beck - Guero - DVD-A , and Porcupine Tree - Deadwing - DVD-A
Most Adventurous Mix : N.E.R.D. - In Search Of - DVD-A
Horizon Award : Lauren Ellis - Feels Like Family - DualDisc with DVD-A
As I expected , SACD titles did very poorly , and are almost completely absent from the 2005 Surround Music Awards winners list .

The Surround Music Awards!! THAT'S HUGE!
hahahaha. ahem.
?? Why does one have to be anti-SACD to be pro DVD-A in this forum???SACD's won Listeners Choice and Best Reissue Mix,as far as I can see, maybe more. Yes, DVD-A's and Dualdiscs won more, but who frickin cares. Both formats will live or die depending on market acceptance of hi-rez and surround, not on one beating the other. I love both.
Take 100 random people, put a red armband on 50, and a green armband on the other 50, within minutes you'll have fighting and irrationality.I think there are only a few 'die hard warriors' left. KEKL used to insult people's mothers and pets over which shiny disc format they preferred to rotate. Less so nowadays, due to the fact that both formats are pretty much niche with a trickle of releases.
Wonder how many people were at the 2005 Surround Music Awards. I envision 15 rows of folding chairs in a mid-sized hotel conference room.
Actually not.It's an industry event that includes movie surround, new and growing broadcast surround, and DVD-V surround as well as DVD-A and SACD. Geared towards the recording engineer, producer, and mastering engineer.

I agree with you absolutely. This puerile behaviour of knocking SACD and/or DVD-A is so obviously silly! Now that there are very competent Universal players such as the Ayre, why can't the knockers, from whatever camp, just wise up and enjoy what each format has to offer. We are all going to lose out, very badly, if these formats die. I am quite happy to buy into both formats. They're both great and way ahead of RBCD.
