PCM (redbook), hi-res PCM, SACD/DSD....whatever!! When will any of us turn our attention to the mastering engineer? I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that I have dozens of good old redbook CDs pressed (and mastered) before 1988 which smoke that latest and greatest. Additionally, I guarantee I have a good number of DCC and Audio Fidelity redbook that will smoke the hi-rez, whether PCM or DSD, etc.
And yeah, I also agree that room treatment is ignored. So is speaker and sweet spot positioning, which is even less expensive (free). One can spend $50 grand and get those things wrong and never hear even $10 grand worth of sound quality. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jh901's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18175 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97545 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
