Let me de-lurk here for a moment and ask a totally newbie question:
What is PCM Audio? Isn't it the format that DVDs use for audio?
Also, does anyone know what Super CD and DVD-Audio is? My company
will begin carrying Super CD and DVD-Audio decks in late 99-2000 (I
think). I've heard Super CD and DVD-Audio are supposed to sound much
better than CDs (and MDs, I assume). How is that possible? I thought
the regular CDs sampling rate already picked up every possible
frequency that the human ear can hear. How will these new formats
improve upon the current? And -- most importantly -- will they be
compatible with MDs (no copyright lockout)?
Thanks,
