In Reply to: I'm listening to this recording as we speak ... on a 20 bit dts encoded N2K music CD circa 1997. posted by Striving for Musical Clarity on May 6, 2003 at 07:26:02:
DTS 20 bit CDs came out just a little bit before their time. They're perfect for the current DVD players that have DTS decoders built in (they weren't at the time). I bought my preamp/processor so I could listen to these recordings. The problem with them is if you forgot to select DTS when playing them, all you would get is what sounded like EXTREMELY loud (speaker tweeter fuse blowing) white noise (scared the hell out of me and I feared for my speakers). Now with this Denon 2900 it automatically senses and selects the DTS decoding and there's no longer the possibility of that inadvertent killer noise. I've since brought my DTS recordings out of my obsolete format storage place and am enjoying them again.Like I said, It was a medium that came before its time ... Sad because it sounds great.
