Or, more likely, just a general Zeitgeist sort of thing. Apparently
this had been building and for whatever reason this thread tipped the
boat. Nothing to do with you at all as it turns out.
This is the line of BS that the XM and Sirius folks say,
its digital, so it has to be just like CD. Ah, no, not at
the data rates that they send. Of course, in a car,
Red Book is overkill. Even my Lincoln has 65 or 70 dB of
road noise at speed.
Yeah, the satellite and cable TV companies are playing this game as
well. Acting like their precious "all digital" signals are the cat's
meow when I can clearly see compression artifacts from across the room
on my decidedly non-spectacular, 27" set.
High rate and wider than 16 bit bitstreams are much closer, but
DVD-audio and SACD are dead. Too bad.
Well, these died in the market but despite the obvious improvements.
suffered from PSF problems similar to RedBook. Consider what you are
really buying when you know how much resampling typically occurs in the
path from the source studio and on through mixing and mastering.
Another confusion between ideals, real-world potential and actual
implementation.
