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

Re: Martin I was correcting your mistatements you said there were NO complete Beethoven cycles NO Handel's Messiah on SA

The ones you mentioned were not recorded for SACD. So while they may be (or may not be) good performances, they don't count in my book. Any idiot can do a transfer of an old stereo recording to any format they want.

In the same vein, I deliberately did not mention the other non-hirez recorded Beethoven cycles on DVD-Audio, as well as other Messiahs (e.g. the acclaimed Mormon Tabernacle one plus others on DVD-A.) — which by your logic would increase DVD-A’s lead even further. It’s plain to see that I’m talking about new recordings for the new formats.

For classical DVD-Audio, this means a 96/24 (or 88.2kHz/24bit)recording in discrete surround-sound. For SACD I would count a 88-96kHz/24bit or DSD recording in discrete surround-sound.
