nope, no hi-rez for me at all. just lowly redbook upsampled with the bel canto. In this months TAS it really sounds like neither format is going to be around much longer. Sony is no longer backing SACD and the biggest proponents of dvd-a are backing off (Neil Young for instance)....
that is why i got in now...
esp. for me because the sacd stereo layer of the stones' abkco catalog is the best it will likely ever get - that was worth the price of admission for me, all by itself. couple that with the dylan set of discs (blonde on blonde and blood on the tracks are fabulous), i feel like i got a real steal. plus mfsl is doing some work with some really nice jazz stuff - davis, trane, dolphy - those will be worth hearing. and the clapton titles, and the creedence catalog... there is way more than enough in the way of titles right now...
i also think there are few outfits that just dumped lots o' cash into DSD recorders, so i think we will see some titles come out that way. since a couple of these units are up in marin, there is a chance i might even care about some of the acts that use it (i would LOVE to see faweed and the crew to a DSD recorded release)...
anyway - i will seek out the absolute sound. what is that, some audiophile-strking glossy magazine..? i will swing by the newsstand today...
