The Rapid Rise (& Fall) of the CD


A few days ago, one of my favorite YouTube channels did a video on the CD. This channel (Asianometry) always does an incredible job telling the story of different technologies, technical industries and/or products.

I think most of you will find the 25 minute video to be very interesting.

DACs have improved till, for single-ended use, there is a new Sabre chip ESS9038 outclasses far more expensive and difficult to get accurate ladder DACs. I still use mostly discs: CDs and 5-channel SACDs, but I have some downloaded copies of symphonies and ripped CDs on my computer. I am unwilling to tie myself down to a paid subscription service. I do not care for how music is catalogued by name of artist and name of song because I know which composer I want to hear and what symphony, concerto, overture, etc. I want to choose.
