XRCD HDCD

XRCD is not steganographic in the sense that we are disscusing, but merely a very carefully done 24 bit master mastered down to the normal 16x44 of CD. They also pay very careful attention to the physical manufacturing of the disc, and use aluminum as the substrate (instead of the normal

The problem Mr. Howe describes is fundamental, folks: encryption should be end-to-end even when the endpoints are functionaries in a company. Because not all employees are equal. So yes Alice at ABC.COM sends mail to Bob at XYZ.COM and the SMTP link is encrypted, so the bored upstream-ISP

The other formats of note are probably SACD and then DVD-Audio. SACD is multichannel 16-bit/44.1kHz... so multichannel CD without additional sample resolution (if I recall). SACD is not backwards compatible though, whereas HDCD is. DVD-Audio is really the way to go, though... 24-bit/96kHz
