| Has Digital Audio Tech Plateaued - Is It Safe To Come Out Now? I think digital audio is going to be a lot like digital photography.Currently digital audio is in the 12-15 mp range. Not bad, but when it gets to 24-45 mp, it is going to give vinyl a run for the money.And, like digital photography, there will be... | |
