Yes, I agree that both markets are small and niche. SACD seems to continue releasing stuff that appeal to classical or jazz enthusiasts but does not seem to have many mainstream popular releases of wider appeal. We may yet see hi-rez on HD DVD or Blu-Ray but I suspect at this point the major labels have figured out that the audiophile market is very small and the mass market cares more about convenience.
