It just amazes me that vinyl's comeback is kicking sacd ass. |
I'm not a big fan of SACD and its 1-bit resolution where they try and compensate with massive sampling frequency but end up injecting noise when its supposed to be pure. DVD-Audio is a better format and is based on the tried and true PCM (LPCM) format. It is 24-bit resolution. It still has that 'warm' feeling that you can get with vinyl.
I do find it humorous that vinyl is starting to reappear again though.
After all these years where Digital was shoved down your throat, more and more people are beginning to realize you live in an analog world that can't be reproduced perfectly with a digital environment.
I do say that DVD-Audio does come close though!
