Few DVD-A's because Sony is a music label, and their electronics brand/division pushed the label side. Stupid? Because they have been so for 60 years. Both DVD-A and SACD were crippled with DRM explicitly to prevent "piracy". In fact, the prime reason for many releases were the DRM, as Stereophile showed years ago when they connected a spectral analyzer to a large number of releases, and only a very small percentage had any signal over the Red Book limit. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
