In Reply to: Will we get another go at mainstream HiRez? (for SACD & DVD-A vets) posted by SnaggS on September 3, 2006 at 06:08:14:
But it won't be on a CD/DVD/BDR/HD disc. As a stream, or download that will be played of your hard drive/ portable digital device maybe. The future looks pretty bleak right now. Who knows? If you look at the history of music delivery you will see that convenience always won against the pure quality. Our life style has also been changing along similar lines. The reason CD was so successful is because it was perceived as of better quality and convenience to LP/cassette. SACD/DVD-A couldn’t claim both improvements as some would argue that they were even less convenient. Now as broadband/ (network) becomes faster and capacities of flash memory/HD space grow, there will be no reason for someone not to offer hi-res and it may eventually catch on with the public.Cheers
