SACD is pretty dead, imo.
What is hot is the 24/192 download... looks like the future.
maybe it is just the present reality.
What I would like to see is this or a better format encoded onto a physical medium, like a CD or DVD disc. I am old school in that regard and have a mental fart at the thought of having a pile of "stuff" crammed into some hard drive or similar sort of thing bothers me on some level... dunno.
problem for me is that almost - not quite - everyone that I really want to hear in "high def" is boots up.

It is very good example John!
Like, you tried to use very nice system in the field that was not meant to it, the same way your Carlec Ambisonics will be used. People will try to use them where they use SM-80 and say how bad they are. Then they will complain that your microphones have to be wireless to be used. Then they will say that they are more expensive than Chinese copies of ancient German mikes, and so on. It is not enough to manufacture some revolutionary microphones to improve quality of records. You have to replace everything around that recording process, including skills of many audio engineers. And even artists!
Here is one more example: I tested a prototype of high-end PA on a bard-festival. It was the best place theoretically to test it: performers got used to play guitars and sing in front of people without any microphones, so it was normal for them to stay 3 feet from large diaphragm mikes, when listeners enjoyed top quality of sound. Everything was fine, until some famous bards come. They started complaining that they don't hear themselves. What does that mean? They got used to close miking, when they lick dynamic microphones and hear own distorted voices from floor monitors. Why it ever happened? Because such close miking become standard when drums were playing behind the singer. It was the necessity. But people got used to it, so it is hard to convince those who got used to what is alien to their genre, that it is alien to their genre!
Now, back to the initial question... If you are ready to start the revolution in recording you have to realize what you are facing...
In marketing, timing is King. And ---- are headphones/earphones more popular now than ever before?! All the more reason that now is the time. We can do LTE to various mags -- like Broadcast Engineering and other recording mags as interested in better recordings and the soundfield mic technique in recording and musician mags --- LTE are read and they do respond to reader requests for articles.
Theoretically I can quit the job. But I would need some income instead. And partners must understand that if I can't write the report what line on schematic I drew today, or which formula I calculated, that means I am stuck between multiple possibilities and can't get the decision right now, because it is not ready. But when ready it will be much better than if I took wrong direction, wasted time and material, but had good reports of work in process.
Wait, Edit: one more thing... Killing thing for Marketing... I can't predict how much time I need to complete the prototype.

I'd just whip out the test equipment and measure it. [test eqipment junky]
And others would simulate it, but there really are some neat issues here that would be missed by either of those approaches!
What neat issues? No neat issues. If you have current source with infinitely large output resistance you draw an equation for the current as the sum of 2 currents that always is equal to the supplied current. The rest is trivial.
Like average level and phase angle affects and reactive power vs resistive. Oh geez where's the test equip or SIM?
Was today really necessary!?

Yes and let's see who in the peanut gallery can do it!
And the technique to avoid an infinite series is?
What technique do you mean except solving of a simple differential equation?
Ah, I see what you mean... Exponential DC when started... Then, confuse with Fourier.
What kind of capacitor is C1?
Gold foil and hemp paper in virgin olive oil, in thick granite sarcophagus under high pressure of a Great Pyramid.
and you would be transported to the exact spot where it was recorded. very nice realism.

Let's see if DF can do this. So quit giving him clues.
(Even cooler short cuts!)
