As the title states: why?
I've never quite figured out why this community is so anti-hi-rez and anti-universal dvd players. Is it the poor selection of titles? Is it the strong encryption of the hi-rez content? Is it the additional cost of buying new hardware and software? Is it buying music that's the problem? Do you think that the hi-rez mediums have any merit in claiming better sound fidelity?
Why do you guys want to see the entire hi-rez formats die and universal dvd players die along with it? Why won't you even consider giving it a chance?
I know of true audiophiles who would never ever buy headphones because they suck compared to their Martin Logan and B&W speakers. Headphones do suck compared to full sized loudspeakers...no doubt about it. Yet, here we are. I also know that these same audiophiles are willing to give hi-rez a chance by buying the hardware and software with their own money. Hi-Rez sounds so damned good on their rigs that cost several tens of thousands of dollars a piece.
I just don't understand this community some times and I got to shake my head in disappointment...
