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

slight clarification...

"since the Hi resolution audio is only output through analog interconnects on most systems, I would think MLP is flawless, unless those mastering the material use some sort of unnecessary filter in making the disc."

Doesn't matter whether you are outputting analog or not. We are talking about the internal digital bus rates, before the DAC.

Therefore, if a mastering engineer uses a filter in making the disk, this will be done to keep the MLP output within acceptable bounds, thus it is "necessary", not "unnecessary".

MLP by design will be flawless in its compression and decompression, but if the rate is too big to fit on the available pipe. this flawless operation cannot work.

Again, I think this is a very minor issue.
