How cynical! For me, it is the low-resolution formats that are cynical ways of separating punters from their dosh - I'm pretty sure that apple make vastly more money selling lo-bit crap to the millions than Linn will ever do selling hi-res recordings. In any case, if you buy a dual-layer SACD you pretty much get the high-res version free, and at download prices, low-resolution formats cost far more per bit than hi-res ones. Don't you want to hear exactly what the guys recorded in the studio? People have dreamed of that since Edison! -- JezA ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JezA's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21219 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60665 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
