Re: sbm magic...

Hi David and Eric,

It isn't a 'given' that the redbook layer will be derived from the DSD 2 ch master. This is an artistic/economic decision that someone needs to make.

I much prefer the sound of standard redbook CD audio converted from the DSD 'source', *EVEN* if that 'source' was originally 20/24 bit 44k1 (and higher sr) PCM.

Sony's 'SBM Direct' and the Philips 'Audio Format Converter' get the downsampling math *very* right... ;->

Regards,

Graemme
