Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Could it be true?

That RBCD is superior to SACD? Well, it isn't my experience, but then both sound adequately good to me on good recordings. Maybe it has to do with implementation in individual component models. What does sound silly though, is that lower resolution might be inherently superior to higher resolution.

So to me the problem with RBCD is that it exists at all in these latter years when equipment capability and storage media make higher resolution totally practical. I suspect that DSD and PCM 24/96 - when properly implemented - are totally transparent to human hearing. The same might or might not be true for RBCD, but if true, I suspect that proper implementations is harder to achieve.
