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

RE: Another case where

Every single "high resolution" format has failed disasterously in the mainstream market.

And why do you think that was? The CD succeeded because EVERY piece of music was released on it. Let me say that agsin since you don't seem to appreciate the difference between 1 and 100.

DVD-A and SACD releases were spotty and token like the hi rez downloads today. Most of what you want is simply unavailable. It required special gear for playback. Today, even $99 DACs and smartphones support 24/88 or 24/96 ocntent. Duh.

It is amazing how many times day I have to pop an audiophile bubble.

And are utterly clueless as to economic failure of continuing to milk physical media. Switching over to downloads would reduce cost substantially and there is effectively no additional cost in providing the original master vs. some downsampled compromise as we find today.

If you're part of the music industry, it is easy to understand the failure the RIAA reports.
