I've never heard anyone claim this. RedBook was a great engineering compromise in the mid-70s when it was made. And it can be made to sound good if care is made. What is true is that SACD and DVD-A failed in the market because they were over hyped, and failed to deliver. Far too many 'releases' were from ADAT sources, so there was no there there. It is also true that the mass market doesn't care about either audio quality nor draconian DRM. If you want to make money in music, you sell on iTunes. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
