I don't think DC will fade into the sunset nor do I believe DCC is as popular as MR wants you to believe.
Here's the thing..
At one time if you wanted sound then DCC was a must..Now the majority of the sound systems will operate on DC and of course MRC released the Tech 6 DC power pack which enables the modeler to use DCC functions to include setting CVs without the need for DCC throttles and power supplies..
I went DCC for sound and enjoyed it for awhile until the noise called sound got on my nerves-usually after 30 minutes of use.Of course the newer Tsunami sound systems does sound a tad better then my early Soundtraxx but,still not enough for me to go googles over sound from what I hearing at the club-again after 30 mintues I am ready to run from the club screaming with my hands over my ears. :o
I suppose when DCC has ran its course and sales lag a new system will emerge that will end DC,DCC and the need to clean track...
