That's actually the point of SACD - It's apparently backward compatible with normal audio, unlike DVD-Audio (unless they have 1 layer 16-bit 44Khz and 1 layer 24-bit, 96Khz.)
The other problem with this little debarcle is that Philips make all the transports for Matsushita's CD players (Technics etc..). Sony make them for Toshiba. I think you'll have all the small fry fighting against the two big boys - look what happened to MiniDisc vs DCC. DCC lost out big time. If they make SACD recordable, maybe that might help.
