VHS, Microsoft Windows, MP3, there are far too many instances of the masses willing to sacrifice on quality in exchange for trivial and fleeting factors like cost, ease of adoption, convenience, etc... all of which quickly end up being meaningless and then you are just left with the compromises.
The reason audio has effectively topped out at CD quality is because the unwashed masses preferred convenience of MP3 to quality of DVD audio or SACD which could have brought things closer to the limits of human hearing but no "the market has spoken" and mp3 was deemed "good enough."
Ben
how about practicality, price and being realistic (storage)?
i love music.. but i could care less if it's a SACD or DVD-audio, which
are dead.. mp3's at 256k or 320k ARE GOOD ENOUGH.. so are CD's.
DVD's ARE GOOD ENOUGH for most people.
and Windows? what does that have to do with anything?
that's ALL I WILL EVER USE. no need for macs/linux, etc..
NO THANKS!
the market HAS SPOKEN, too bad for you!
