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

Exactly right. Besides we're talking about audibilty...

Just as DSD noise-shaping artifacts are inaudible (I think we all agree here), so too are PCM noise-shaping artifacts, espcially considering how much more pervasive the noise-shaping is in DSD.

So we again come back to my original premise: high-rate PCM is more elegant than DSD. If DSD were audibly superior to high-rate PCM then the issue of elegance would be moot. But of course no one has shown conclusively that DSD can be audibly distinguished from high-rate PCM.

Another thing I've been wondering lately...if the original CD patent had specified 44.1/20 instead of 44.1/16 would we even be having this conversation? I'm beginning to think anything above 48/24 may be overkill...
