People who make lists of good sounding recordings have included those with some degree of tape hiss. Many acknowledged great sounding recordings of the analog era are prized and collected despite tape hiss.I wonder if watermarked disks will ever be on the lists of great sounding recordings, prized and collected. The watermark may not be discerible as any kind of distinct sonic attribute. The disks may be "good enough" for most people to accept uncritically. But maybe a subtle effect may eliminate these recordings from consideration as reference quality.
Just a specualtive question, I have no opinion one way or the other.
