Will the new dark side SACD play in my dvd player?

Sounds almost too good to be true, I'm glad I've got it on pre-order!

Mad Yannis, are you sure about that?

I did some reading. The new soundblaster audigy 2 has support for the new SACD format. Why wouldn't they make a computer DVD player to take advantage of this?

I don't know honestly about the new technologies... I was talking about old traditional DVD players.

SACD is a special player, you only need to have it on a DVD player, check yours

If you don't have it you'll listen it in stereo format

Well i guess I'll just have to see how much better the stereo version is for now.

Sorry you're wrong there, I've got an Audigy2. It has support for DVD-A which is nice. I've got Queens Night @ the Opera. Surroundsound music rocks!
You need an SACD-Player to play the SACD layer. You can play hybrid SACDs on normal CD-Players. But this is a different layer so you wont get 5.1 or better soundquality.

if my dvd player stated that it supports dolby digital 5.1 (sort of) and the supported formats are dvd, svcd, vcd, cd-r/rw and blah blah blah but sacd isn't stated..
can it play the sacd in surround sound? well... of course... i gotta home teather system that supports 5.1..
