Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

RE: Agreed

Well, the tests dealt with what is possible with the consumer product. If the SACD or DVD sounds different from the CD (and I know there are dual layer SACD/CDs), one has the right to ask why, since at the levels used, no one in the Meyer-Moran tests showed they could, and that includes some "audio professionals."

The Meyer and Moran tests took the analog output of the SACD or DVD players and digitized it to a 44.1 kHz sampling rate and then converted it to analog. I personally wouldn't call that data conversion, as from what I understand that is a purely digital process.

Since you are too cheap to get the journal article, I will provide you with a couple of URLs for the paper and a further explanation:
