Well, yes and no. There is no fundamental difference in terms of 1's and 0's. However, there is an enormous and fundamental difference in terms of storage and usability. It's a shame that Redbook never moved beyond twenty year+ old technology and that we have the same data format now as 'back then.' However (and this is because my background is in editing, UI design, and the like), sometimes usability is nearly on par, or on par, with data content. The fact is that this new technology use is more flexible, it saves our butts (no more scratched/destroyed CDs -- at least for those of us with young children and pets), and it is extremely convenient. We're saying more or less the same thing...I just tend to view "fundamental" globally. Semantics.
Now, if they would make a SB that could stream DVD video data from one's hard drive and throw it into the same package... -- highdudgeon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ highdudgeon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2195 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22301 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
