From "What Hi-Fi?" magazine.
Victor's plan to turn CDs into high resolution threatens the entire HD music industry http://www.whathifi.com/blog/victors-plan-...-music-industry by Andrew Everard Interesting – or rather worrying – news out of Japan that Victor Entertainment, the music division of JVC has developed a way to convert CD-quality recordings so they can be sold as HD music. -------------------- Kevin

Most of the practices applied to CD masters today would be better applied on the consumer end, like amplification until clipping distortion occurs or aggressive dynamic range compression. Until those in charge realize whwere the problem really lies nothing will improve. It's funny that certain circles tout high-res media as a salvation, when most mainstream music today has an effective dynamic range of 12 bits or less, and the only advantage of high sample rates is the accurate representation of square waves due to digital clipping.
