Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: Is this really the "First Release" of the two-channel masters in high resolution?

I do not have the MFSL SACD, so I am happy to learn that the cheaper and soon-to-be much more widely available Blu-ray is closer to the two-channel master recording than the SACD. And yes, the BD surround mix is icing on the cake. But I still have a question about the marketing claim that the BD is the "first release" of the two-channel masters in high resolution. Isn't a high-rez PCM to DSD conversion "high resolution"? And if not, why not? The "Modern Cool" SACD is considered reference quality by many. Just look at the reviews and ratings on SA-CD.net. So how bad could that PCM-to-DSD conversion have been, and how much can the BD improve on it? I guess we will have to wait for people with both versions to compare them.
