Re: I don't understand the debate-SACD sounds way better than CD to me

Posted by raffells on December 2, 2006 at 09:40:32:
What you are saying has been discussed many many times..I think the main explanations are that CD is a Lossy format.People forget that the D to A convertor is creating a sound from not enough bits.There is also the effect of brickwall filters at 20k and the lower noise level.....Another oft forgotten and under mentioned point is lower distortion at the lower signal levels.These points would also apply to half decent DVDAs as well.
I am not sure most Tv sets are capable of ultrasonics due to many technical reasons..certainly some of the tiny speakers may go up that high. BTW The oscilation you can hear could mean something on its way out on the TV..time will tell..
