So I see, a pity the commercial world doesn't like open source. I believe flac achieves better compression, no? I understand blu ray, at least, does also support up to at least six 24/96k pcm audio streams (which would be about 13Mbit). I make that about 4 hours of six channel high res audio per single sided blu ray, or obviously 12 hours of two channel.. bring it on! No more pointless multidisc sets.. (and obviously ridiculously long runtimes for 16/44.1 etc..) I'm old fashioned, I like to buy a piece of media rather than a too-easily accidentally deleted download but am slowly realising the fact that I never actually play anything directly from media anyway.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ drmatt's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59498 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105070 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
