  Coping in an Age of Uncertainty
there have been numerous threads here, i know, about sacd v. dvd-a, upsampling, oversampling, etc. a number of these threads have included discussions of which, if any, new digital format will replace what we now call “redbook” cd’s. i don’t wish to rehash these discussions. rather, i’d like to hear from others how they are coping with the “age of uncertainty” in the realm of digital audio. is it better to “roll the dice” and invest in sacd or dvd a? ignore the contenders for the new and get the best possible out of redbook cd’s? buy with upgradeability firmly in mind? follow another path? i don’t post this query out of mere curiosity. i really haven’t figured out what course i should follow. i’d appreciate your giving me a hand. -kelly

quality sound from digital source components is far more dependant on the software than visa versa. a first generation cd player sounds infinitely better with a recently mastered cd than a new cd player using the same music mastered even 5 years ago.....there are thousands of examples with the major labels alone...the improvements on the hardware side have been oversold as remedies to a consumer willing to pay anything to get satisfaction from their hi fi.
