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

Re: Usually the 48/16 is just resampled from the 44.1/16.

Your supposition is sorta hard for me to follow.
I doubt that the master was 16/44.1, so why upsample to 48 ?

Sample rate would affect bandwidth spectrum, not headroom, so compression ratio would likely be the same because of the common word-length. Unless there's some other factor that I'm not aware of.
Why knock off 6db of headroom for DVD-V ? The DVD-V DACs all do 24 bit.

The compression on this album and Fletcher-Munson eq would seem to be some of the highest that I've ever heard. Again, unless there's some other factor that I don't know of. (Maybe an exciter ?)
I feel that this was a concious decision based on content and aural
palette.

I'm learning something new about this digital audio thing everyday.
My ears are telling me that the 16/48 side is cleaner, especially on the top-end.
Could be a placebo.
