| Any hope for SACD? It depends on how well they sell. If Analogue Productions and MoFi make good money from their SACD efforts we'll see more of them. I don't see why they can't crank them out like they do in Japan. There has to be some DSD equipment sitting around u... | |

| Earl Scruggs dies at 88 Earl was a musical giant and a humble man. His contributions to country music will never be forgotten. | |
| Digital Emperor has no clothes Of course 16/44.1 sounds better than 24/192. And Mp3 sounds better than 16/44.1. Everyone knows that. | |
| Oppo 95: Burn-in...and Fan Minus, Many people think that it is the owner's perception that breaks in over the first 100 or 500 hours. That's possible in your world, isn't it? You'll only find frustration if you try to apply physics to human perception and behavior. | |
