In Reply to: SACD bombed very, very badly. So, posted by tinear on May 15, 2007 at 07:46:14:
If you have never heard native DSD then you simply don't know what you are talking about.Celebrating a recording medium (PCM) that offers a fraction of the resolving power, regardless of the lamentable fact that Sony cannot find it's collective ass on a good day, is short-sighted and self-defeating.
As a recording medium, DSD is indistinquishable from microphone feed. Period.
If SACD languishes, celebrating it is like the folks who celebrate the "sanitization" of classic liturature. Stupid, short-sighted and ultimately, tragic.

- F.Y.I: There is NO audible noise with PURE DSD even though headphones. 192kHz PCM has more audible noise for example. - Teresa 00:00:44 05/20/07 (5)
