I'm not sure why a HD version would be losing anything since the sample rate is 4x that of a cd not to mention the 24 bit spec. The problem is...who would be buying a cd version of something that's available on HD? There's probably a few here who have both the cd & Blu-Ray version of the Jeff Beck show that can chime in but I waited specifically for the video. I just can't imagine many buying a cd just to hear what it sounds like unless they're just getting a copy for the car or ipod.
DOLBY HD Master Audio VS CD? What sounds better?
I thought I would start this to see what people are hearing. Those that have a 2channel music system at home and those who ALSO have a multichannel system. Or even a "hybrid" of some sorts. I've noticed some amazing detail from a few Dolby Digital HD concert DVD's. Most noteably Dave Matthews, John Mayer and Heart. The John Mayer is on CD and will sound fantastic on a ultimate 2 channel set up and I really enjoy it! However the Blu-ray version.... besides the visual effects.... how much more are we gaining OR! loosing with Dolby Digital HD (or DTS Master Audio). I'm interested to hear what people think!!!
