New DVD-Audio music releases and talk about the latest players.

Re: The mystery of why music DVDs often don't sound great!

Chris, I simply stunned how mastering equipment in studios evidently doesn't provide the most basic of fail-safe systems to alert the engineer of clipping. SURELY, there should be a red light (or something similar) which flashes whenever a max digital value is reached? In other words, whenever all binary bits in the bit word are "1" so for a 16 bit number, the alert should stop the engineer when a saturated "1111111111111111" level occurs?

Also, having real-time animated scopes for all channels — such as what you have illustrated — should instantly convey (visually) to any over-zealous idiot at the controls when he’s got the levels too high.
