More on DVD-Audio and SACD

Spock the Baptist writes "This article at CNN covers the drive of manufacturers to get the public to convert from the CD format to two relatively new formats, DVD-Audio, and Super Audio Compact Disk. The manufacturers cite the superior audio quality, and 3-dimensionality of the new formats' reproduction as the reasons for customers to embrace these formats. The article also goes on to say: "An added bonus for record companies and retailers, who are engaged in a battle against piracy, is that the relative complexity of DVD-Audios and SACDs makes them much harder to copy. At the same time, that might turn some consumers off the format.""

    Um, I never thought I'd see gnosticism, Plotinus, Jack Valenti, and James Caan mentioned in the same post.

    I'm not sure if it should be rated off-topic, funny, or "quick, someone bring me more tin-foil for my helmet."
