If that's true, the CDs will be useless for those of us with outboard DACs.
I checked the manufacturer's site and as I'd feared, there was no
information of real substance...just market-speak.
They claim that "CACTUS DATA SHIELD prohibits Internet-piracy by preventing
unauthorised transmission of digital files (music, software, and video) over
the Internet" which is of course completely ridiculous. There's nothing to
stop the digital recording of an analogue source. All they're doing is
making it a bit more trouble by adding a step to the process.
