This issue wasnt even known until a few days ago when it was revealed that modified machines and not published specs machines were being used to extract DSD data from an SACD.
Apparently there are one or two boutique companies who are making these machines (with some employee links between the companies) and one studio doing the work. Its low profile. And the previous various contradictory and inconsistent explanations as to the method and workflow involved in extracting the data can be interpreted as: 1. A deliberate attempt at obfuscation because of a conscious knowledge of these issues. 2. Unawareness or misunderstanding by those involved as to these issues. 3. A desire to protect a trade secret as to the method of extraction. Of course whatever the reason, all these possibilities just further reinforce the need for full disclosure to the consumer as to the source of a music download and the method for its preparation. All we can do is ask questions. -- mortslim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mortslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11039 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74688
