They amount to, "Some 1-bit converters are/have been of poor quality, therefore SACD sucks." and "DSD requires noise-shaping to work, therefore SACD sucks." Also, "There aren't enough original DSD recordings, therefore SACD sucks." That was the extent of his sophisticated argument. I react to these the same way you might to the 'DVD-A needs a TV' complaint. He would have been better off confining his comments to sound quality.I don't show disdain towards someone who can't distinguish SACD and CD, only those who insist that their subjective experience is objective truth for the rest of us. :-)
