I think that people will be much more interested in
multi-channels then increased audio resolution
(I'm already seeing this fenomenon with DVD-Audio).
I think that current Super CDs are not multi-channel.

Also, in order to be competitive with audio CDs,
DVD-A and SCD will need to have an equal or slightly
bigger price - if this doesn't happen, I'm afraid that these
new technologies will remain something exclusive and
audiophile-only...

And then there is also the rivalry between DVD-Audio
and SCD.
