Sometimes, digital reminds me a lot of automobiles...
This year, you can get everything you want, but in two years, the new body style is coming, and it sure is a lot sweeter than that of today.
Then, when it finally gets here, the options you want cannot be ordered together. You can have a manual transmission, but only if you don't buy the all wheel drive, and you can have the convertible, as long as you can forego the turbocharger. And, the cloth seats, they aren't available unless you buy the ski package, which precludes you from getting the stereo you want.
Anyway, I guess this is Sony's version. You can have FireWire out, but you have to take watermarking, blah, blah, blah.
Is this supposed to be better sound? From what I read about watermarking, it is clearly audible to the most uncaring listener, once pointed out to them. With we audiophiles obsessing about every hum, our cables, and even power and receptacles, does anyone think watermarking will not absolutely drive many to the crazy house?
Thank you, Sony! I still feel happy that I got in early on SACD, before they had too long a time to mess it up. Well, from the likes of Accuphase, Classe, Krell, Linn, Musical Fidelity, etc. that is where our future lies anyway. In the audiophile companies. But, didn't we know that from the get go?
