I have the distinct feeling that if any of these formats survive, it

digital compact cassette. Better, but basically no one really cared
enough, and they were soon overtaken by events. SACD and DVD-A? Similar
sort of thing.
Not really, SACD and DVD-A. Both of those are not new hardware as
the HD formats are. They are just software on top of a DVD player.
It costs almost nothing to include them in the player and the
actual disks are produced on DVD lines.
I have some SACDs and find that they are actually becoming quite
common. (That's common relative to all classical music, of course,
a niche within a niche.)
