HDtracks sells the HD lossless 24/96 as their "premium" material. Is it really premium? I mean, they could technically just use that format but could have converted from a lossy source or iffy production?
And so there's no guarantee of a CD being high quality audio, eh?

Is there much future in the DVD-A? And just because music CAN be handled at 24/192, doesn't mean it will be, right?
And so we should be careful of the studios and production of the music? That's why people are careful to find audiophile studios/production?

This just means that there can be more detail in the music for you to hear. But for SACD you need a special player and not much music is put onto SACD, and you need a special player as well. that is why some amp/dac/can combos can reveal flaws and distortions in the mixing/mastering of a CD. |
