Wonder if not 30% of DVDA and 50% SACD is fakes in this repect ? I think SACD has more fakes due to higher title count as the morons runed out of real 24 bit records. I would not be surprised at all if some of these records are faked this way even if there is a real 24 bit master somewhere. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
