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

Correction: "Perhaps they THOUGHT the investment" . . .

Hi Racer,

(Hey, I just had this great idea: I thought it would be kind’a cool to pretend that we’re chummie-chums, by using the salutation "Hi")

Well, since an existing and very costly "investment" (a proprietary one which shall remain nameless here) has turned out to be a rather unfortunate loss-leader, it is not now surprising that Philips and Sony are turning their attention to another source of revenue, which they have up till now, ignored (at least in public).

In fact, this "investment" (DVD Audio) happens to be one which requires minimal further outlay in (a) 24 bit DAC technology (their players already use Burr-Brown etc.), and (b) one where the player transport uses conventional DVD disc media. Only minor changes are needed, which include: (a) CPPM, and (b) the MLP software.
