RE: Why Rebuy? - I'm with you because as good as 192kHz PCM can be it still isn't anywhere near DSD.

Posted by Teresa on January 2, 2009 at 15:43:23:
Classic Records and others have proven how great 192kHz PCM can sound, but pure DSD SACDs are of a higher sonic level that PCM has yet to approach. I also download 24 Bit 96kHz PCM but I harbor no illusions it is a good as DSD.

I buy and sell music a lot, but If I am going to buy the same titles again I prefer them to at least be sonically superior to the ones I sold. This will not be the case with BluRay music, indeed just as it was with DVD-Audio I predict 192kHz PCM will be rare and most music releases on BluRay will be 96kHz or even 48kHz.

BluRay thus is an unacceptable music format to me, unless of course the BluRay player also plays SACDs. Then I would only buy a BluRay titles if it was not released on SACD, much like I do now with DVD-Audio.

Happy listening,
Teresa
