sorry for the rant.


There is alot at play here. DSOTM was to be released on DVD-A but Sony offered to do the mastering and EMI agreed. I'd love to know what happened behind closed doors for that one. Personally, I'm really disappointed in this turn of events being an adopter of DVD-A. I'm going to have to look for a universal player.

There are some small labels (AIX Records, for example) that are recording and producing material specifically for the hi-rez format. I'm a Yes fan and their last release, Magnification, was recorded at 96/24 and 192/24. It is really well done.

I may be being somewhat of a snob, but is there alot of music being made today that should be coming out in hi-rez?
