Home Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

I liked that...

I think HDMI is a joke. I am into computers almost as much as I am into 2 channel audio, and on the computer hardware boards, one of the big things is HDMI support in video cards. I don't know why so many people are drooling for something so limited by the media conglomerates... yay movies that need authorized devices to play at full quality yay for adding yet more into the digital chain that doesn't need to be there.

I don't want any company treating me like a criminal if I am going to give them my hard earned dollar... though, I like how their marketroids like to spin the latest crippleware in their literature as wonderful new features that enhances the EXPERIENCE!

OH well... my friends look at me like I am nuts because I don't even own a surroundsound reciever... "you spent all that money and it can ONLY do stereo?!?"

It doesn't matter... all this wrangling about formats have doomed so many... and will doom so many. I think SACD fans are damn lucky that sony has lost interest.

Open formats are the future. If we can thank Mp3 for one thing it is showing the masses what it is like to have a basically "open" format. (yes I know it is not technically, but it basically is in practice)
