Blue laser in CDP?


Just wanted to mention in a recent article I read that blue lasers can read much higher density discs and seemd to have better quality than red. Don't know if they are used in DVD players now or they could be the next big improvement in digital.

I don't think that there are any blue laser DVD or CD players currently on the market. The rumor is that the new Linn universal player due in January will be the first blue laser player on the market. Linn's "silver disk engine" should also be licensed to other manufacturers in a somewhat downgraded form. The universal DACs for the new player were developed right here in Texas by ESS. Apparently the same DACs will be able to process PCM as well as DSD in their native forms. I can barely wait to check it out.
