Just for your information: Wheatus is offering The Lighting EP as DSD download.

DSD... This is as good as vinyl, or some say, better. ... They far exceed the quality of DVD and Blu-Ray Audio ... stick it in your PS3 and hit play

...better than 88.2kHz 24-bit FLAC apparently.


So, to summarise the world as it's seen...
The people who think they want something better than mp3 is small.
The people who want something without loudness-wars-style clipression is small.
The people who want something better than a good CD is even smaller.

...but for that minority, we can now start a new virtual format war - downloaded hi-res FLAC vs downloaded DSD vs downloaded DXD.

Because confusing the heck out of the listener is such a great way to succeed.


...and since we're delivering so many bits, it must be the best you can get - so for most releases we can just forget about surround sound - and we can certainly forget about doing surround sound properly!


Yet another great way for the audio industry to continue its implosion.

Cheers,
David.

EDIT: the sarcasm is obvious above, isn't it? I mean, I don't need to go through and add a " " to the end of every line, do I?
