New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

Re: There are increasing numbers of computers being used for music playback. What do they mean for sacds

Well the reason SACDs can't be read in DVD-ROM drives is because of pit signal processing, which needs to be read to decrypt the signal.

Beyond that, part of the spec is not allowing SACD to be played on PCs to avoid compying. Whether that's a good thing or not, I don't know... The PC is still a bad environment for audio, though it is getting better, with new designs.

DSD is not impossible on the PC; the actual SACD format is rendered impossible however though hardware and software roadblocks put there intentionally.
