I guess it will most likely be SD. That's good news as far as hearing Dave in hi-rez, but I would much rather have him/him and the band on SACD. While I enjoy the sonics on DVD-A discs, I detest the fact that I have to hook up the player to a monitor so that I choose the right mix.

Don't worry here. The earlier BMG DVD-A disc, Elv1s, had no menus or video content whatsoever. It was simply put the disc in and it plays. If you want to change between tracks just press the group button on your remote and you are there.
The arguments about using a monitor to switch between tracks on a DVD-A is one that is not really applicable aside from a very very small number of discs pressed early on (maybe 5 or 6). All it takes is a simple press of the audio or group button to change from surround to stereo. It is actually easier than SACD as you do not have to first stop the player, then press the stereo/Mch button to make the change (actually on some of the newer SACD universal players you still have to go through a litany of player menus to change from stereo to surround, so a monitor is required). Your player may be different, but as more and more players become Universal in nature, the perceived conveinience of SACD is gone, making DVD-A more conveinient in many cases.
