Not to mention that there is precious little evidence that even under optimal recording and playback conditions anyone could tell the difference between 16/44 and 24/192 recordings. I'm hopeful that the recording and mastering is sufficiently well done to make the musical experience immersive (no time to try it out yet). I don't expect the highest quality, this would be unrealistic. I can still play the DVD Audio through my home theater setup, and can even compare it to the 16/44 sound produced from the same gear through a Receiver (my main listening area is run through a Transporter, which cannot do 24/192 natively). Quite likely the Receiver will sound better over the home theater setup, given the DAC in my Sony receiver. R.
