Re: SACD bombed very, very badly. So,

159.121.203.1

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.
