Im sticking with good old red book,newer cd player of late have outstanding sound,I not even going to get into sacd etc.Forget it I am way done.I mean five different copies of this 2 of that one ,no thanks.Just stick with the brands that have been there for a while,they have had good sound in the past and will do so in the future.Oh thats right after records first came out what did they sound like say 20 or 30 years after their intro,last time I checked they are still getting better and so is digital ,including red book,Al
Coping in an Age of Uncertainty
there have been numerous threads here, i know, about sacd v. dvd-a, upsampling, oversampling, etc. a number of these threads have included discussions of which, if any, new digital format will replace what we now call “redbook” cd’s. i don’t wish to rehash these discussions. rather, i’d like to hear from others how they are coping with the “age of uncertainty” in the realm of digital audio. is it better to “roll the dice” and invest in sacd or dvd a? ignore the contenders for the new and get the best possible out of redbook cd’s? buy with upgradeability firmly in mind? follow another path? i don’t post this query out of mere curiosity. i really haven’t figured out what course i should follow. i’d appreciate your giving me a hand. -kelly
