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

So?

Reverse engineering is arguably more reliable, because it duplicates reality, as opposed to specs. As we all know, not all authoring programs or all players adhere to the specs, so I would rather trust a program that uses the same format as existing discs that play on existing players rather than something built from the scratch based on a dubious interpretation of a spec book.

Remember, every PC in the world today with an Award or AMI BIOS is based on partial reverse engineering of the IBM PC-AT BIOS (IBM published the original IBM PC BIOS, but not the AT BIOS or the PS/2 BIOS). Remember when the word "IBM PC clone"?
