Re: Corporate Greed

Well, I am certainly not going to defend Sony on any grounds whatever. I think they are nefarious, and if SACD fails, it is largely because of their own internal insanity that has Sony Music actually opposing SACD in the market place, which is nuts, whatever their opinions.

Don't confuse the technology with who owns it. Trust me, you would pretty much have to stop eating, drinking, and consuming most everything if A: You knew where it came from and how it was produced, and B. You knew the politics and practices of the people who made it.

As to the internecine battles in audio, I will also remain in disagreement. To say, "I prefer the sound of tubes and planars" is very diffent from the typical, "If you listen to anything other than X, you are a malodorous bolus of hog phlegm" which is pretty much how it goes.

I actually had a manufacturer queer a positive review, when their marketing rep learned that I had, GASP, solid state equipment in my reference system!

With that in mind, you have not acually heard native DSD, so my original chastisement stands. If you want to assert a cogent disagreement, go forward and take the experience. What possible harm could it do to you to actually go listen to what you are chastising?

Until then, you are pretty much arguing from every standpoint (and in my opinion, unsuccessfully) but personal experience.
