In Reply to: Ok .. enough already ! Where are the 192 / 24 DVD-A discs ? posted by vulcanman on May 09, 2003 at 22:11:34:
Classic Records is now working on the mastering for several 192/24 DVD-A disks.
Follow Ups:
Its annoying when they sell the medium with promise of 24/192 resolution ... and even after so many years ... we only have a handful of recordings capable of exploiting the medium to its fullest.SHAME SHAME SHAME.
Why? If you ask guys in the know (Mark Waldrep, Bob Ludwig, David Chesky et al) it's only in the last 12-18 months that 24/192K A/D Convertors reached the level of quality of 24/96K A/D convertors.
So until the newer A/D convertors became available, everyone that cared about a quality product was using 24/96K units.That being said, if you didn't know if a recording was 24/96K or 24/192K would you really be able to spot the difference? While I find 24/192K slightly preferential everytime I've heard it in comparison to 24/96K material it has been a sighted test.
JohnReading your post, I wonder: do you think some of the 24/192 material that has been published was not "true" 24/192?

No, I don't think so.There are other factors involved, like mixing stations and processing stations supporting 24/192K in addition to the previously stated unhappiness with previous generation 24/192K A/D convertors.
There have been cases where resampling / upsampling / whatever the term du jour is have been implemented, and I personally think it's a bad idea.
