Last night I watched the HD broadcast of 30 Rock for the first time using my new 990.....I couldn't believe how good it sounded. The clarity was really something....especially the background music on the mains. Just curious......is this what Super Audio DVD sounds like? If so, it really is too bad it never got off the ground.

HD broadcasts like that are often using Dolby Digital 5.1, just like DVD has been for some time. It's something that we have come to expect from DVD's, but it's something that TV has previously not been able to offer. SACD and DVD-Audio both actually offer one step better than that: lossless compression. smile

I have HD an I do enjoy the sound when playing the DD 5.1 yet Gonk is correct.

I am now getting SACD's and the SQ in my system makes them sound like vinly recoreds and not like digital!
