Perhaps someone could award me an honorary PhD in "Miscommunications"....
For me, it's really not a matter of music appreciation. There's not many genres of music in which I can't find something to like. Thoughts to the contrary wasn't my point at all. My point is, and I'm sure others may quietly agree.... It seems the music industry itself isn't concerned with providing the highest resolution possible. They could, but without a viable market (read: BIG market) it simply isn't on their radar screen. If people were falling over themselves for the latest Hi-Res music....then SACD and DVD-A wouldn't be on death row. Would they? There are any number of reasons for this, but we live in an age of cheap, now, and plenty. An age where the CD is too bulky and complicated. Mega Hi-Res media...as much as it appeals to the audiophile in those of us here will simply not be born by the masses. This will, as it always has,leave us with a tiny handful of niche recordings from largely obscure performers with which to enjoy the capabilities of our specialist hardware. I'd love to have 176, 192, 384 or whatever else can be dreamed up. As a practical matter however I wouldn't spend a dime for it until I see some movement to provide me, the consumer with a broad catalog of music from which to choose. It's not there, and so I'm not buying.
