Uhm... don't think so. HDCD CDs are pseudo 20-bit encoded recordings, which,
at least to my ears, don't sound any better than a standard CD (and the DCC

I noticed this as a format that you can buy on CDNow.com for some albums.
What is this format? Thanks a lot.

Weird. I sent this message more than two weeks ago...
But you are right about the sampling frequency.

No, DSD does not use PCM encoded. Its a single bit encoding at 2.8224
MHz. Consequently it doesn't have a "word" length. It can, though, be
easily converted into any of the common PCM formats.
Bob, my faux pas in that regard has been loong ago

Maybe we have been going the wrong way. All of this digital crap.

While analog storage has its merits, it does lend itself

I listened to SACD in January at the CES. I can sincerely say I've never
quite heard anything like it. I haven't even tried to buy it yet, though,
because I am waiting to see who will win the "format wars". Or maybe an
universal DVD-A / SACD player.
Sure.

Sorry you don't think so. I heard 'em both together under double blind
conditions (ABX comparator). Couldn't tell the difference. I'll bet you
couldn't either. ;-)

Funny isn't it? Remember all that "it's just ones and zeros" and "bits is

digital? If it was "perfect sound" then, as they so loudly touted, then why
have they spend SO damned much money on improving it

Super Audio CD is Sony and Phillips latest
new hardware release. The sound reproduction is definitely superior to CD
but they have a serious limitation. THE PRICE!! Even

They're both very good...very comparable to each other. It's just another in
the long line of format wars Larry. Who knows which will be left standing
when the dust settles?
