| SACD vs. Blu-Ray for audio quality/sonics SACD is DSD and Blu-ray is high res PCM.Both can sound superior to CD. | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? The $uper high end is for snob appeal, from the owners rich audio friends!True high end sound is still not cheap, and requires experience, and knowing what good natural sound is. | |
