Yes that's why I'm not exactly running to the hifi store to get an DSD DAC :) Of those 250 recordings , assume that 25 would appeal to my taste . Sad fact a large crowd of audiophiles buy recordings to listen to thier equipment not the other way around as it should be . Only an audiophile could consider buying a new player to listen to 20-40 records . No these formats will never become mainstream and provide actual music for a music lover . The serious remasters could be sold in any popular PCM format ( or heaven forbid a CD ), but it's not hot stuff for the audiophile crowd ,sadly one boost sales when using a hirez format . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
