Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved

PO,

You show your lack of understanding every time you post. Since you don't seem to read my posts I won't bother to correct you.

Concern over opposing formats? Haha. I worry about it every second of the day. Read the above posts. You show your ignorance.

Where do you think your high res comes from? More ignorance here.

As for your multichannel understanding haha! All the stereo version is is the same multitrack with the panning adjusted or consolidated. A lot of the stuff in the rears is reverb anyway depending on the recording. I suppose you think they have a surround microphone? No. It's a selection of mics which are panned to create the illusion of placement. Or a reverb unit which places the stereo in a surround setting... Oh and what resolution do you think that lexicon or Bricasti reverb unit is?

Chadeffect- so I can Download the same "Multi-track", apply
the same software to get the same result? How do you know
which Releases "DO", "DO NOT" use a Surround Microphone?
So we will be stuck with "Two-Channel" High Res. Downloads,
limited to 24/192 glass ceiling? I suppose we wont be able
to use Surround Sound Microphones there either? Neither will we be able to use 32 Bit, or DXD. If you are not
Downloading the Multi-Track, then you are Downloading a
Two-Channel Remastered Copy. You claim that High Res. is
Remastered the same either on Disk, or Download. I ask:
So where are the Multi-Channel 24/96,24/192 Downloads to
replace the MLP Disks? So where are the Multi-Channel DSD
SACD Downloads to replace the SACD Disks? So where are the
Remastered Blue-Ray Audio Downloads to replace the Blue-ray
Audio Disks? Are we supposed to make these ourselves with
nothing more than a 24/192 Two-Channel High Res. Download
"FLAC" Music File? We have to "Remaster" our own Music on
our Computer, and pay for the priviledge? I have my collection of "Master Tapes" of all Music from all ages. I
will dig them out of the attic, and get right on that!
Hfisher3380- the fact that you still argue this point
belies your intent. You argue to death the benefit of going
all Downloading Format sans other Formats. Then go "Ponchous Pilate" washing your hands of all respondsibility. You act like you never seen "Soon all New Music will only be available as Music Downloads" on this
Thread, or any other. You act like you never have heard these words. Now First time you have "EVER" heard them? Then you argue, and defend them ad nauseum. Your numerous defenses of the intent behind these words, is a constantly
rotating door of endless examples! You want an example, look in the mirror. It will make you dizzy, it makes me
dizzy just looking at it. I might loose my hands trying to
grab just O-N-E example- PASS!
I am not willing to play at your level of pretend
ignorance. You wear your intent tattooed on your forehead.
I am supposed to play ignorant in treating you like the
"Emperor and his new clothes". I am not playing games!
I am fighting for my Music, you want to severely restrict my access to my Music. Magically I lose selection everyday
with optical disk. You say "It isn't us, give us an example". I open your holy Bible of promoting Computer
Audio Downloading. Your first Commandment says, "Soon all
New Music will only be available as Music Downloads". Your
Bible also describes this as "Inevitable", and "Unavoidable". Either you guys are promoting this belief, or it is being ordained by God. Don't see the God
connection, "DO" see alot of guys "PLAYING GOD". Must be a
special place for those whose ego is based on stealing
someone else's Music. Paranoid, sure- NOW GIVE ME THE CHOICE OF MY DAMN MUSIC BACK!!! Enough of trying to
manipulate everyone by Rook, or by Crook. You are not very good at it....you know the rest! "PARANOID" because I
demand a "CHOICE", I can live with that! I cannot live with "COMPUTER BUREAUCRATS" running bureaucratic interference, rules, regulations, and technobabble between
me and my Music. Yours is a "JIHAD", or "HOLY CRUSADE"
against Optical Disks. You don't understand why some of us get upset with being swepted up in some of your "REFORMS"?
If you can't understand- I don't know what to tell you!
Are you going to demand that we all get "BAPTISED" in the
Holy Order of "Computer Audio"? Foresake all other beliefs-
(Formats)? I always hated "NECROMONGERS"! I think, therefore I am, and I can choose. I choose not to be caged
like an animal with the chain of a single Format hanging
around my neck. "I AM A FREE MAN"! I can see beyond the
boundaries of my Computer Screen, just like I can see beyond the end of my nose. How about you? You haven't got the Selection- WORK ON IT! GETTING TIRED OF SAYING THAT!

PO,
the lack of availability of some recordings I guess is down to a lack of interest. The very reason SACD and the others failed to take off. It's a real shame. But if you know where to look you will find them.

Regarding knowing which release is which? I do understand if you are downloading illegally that this could be a problem. It is this behaviour which threatens your beloved disks. Not us.

If legitimate download sites are the vendors, they do tend to have the details of the recording. I have stumbled across some very anal sites mainly for classical music.

I have some Sony classical recordings which were cleaned up, and mastered from the original 1960s tapes. They go into great detail about what they are and the technology used to bring it to life.

I have an audio buddy (record collector) who has reference books and a rather frightening knowledge of these things. So I guess if you are interested you do some research. Like any other hobby. Read the right magazines.

Your love for surround sound disks is touching, but leads me to believe you should be saving up for a good HT set up and forget 2 ch sound. You would be happier as you could buy more disks.

A nice receiver with a blue ray player and HDMI cable and you will be happy. Those chip sets are 32bit too. 192k audio... The glass ceiling resolution. Oh Sony what have you done? Lol

Petty - I ask again for you to give me one example - not surprisingly you are unable - and I am not surprised - you are unable because you are full of it and in fact there is no example. You have no data, nothing. You are a fraud. You go on an on for pages about nothing but paranoid lies. I don't want to hear yet another explanation from you on this - I want one example...O-N-E. Enough of your charade!

hi guys, I am writing from my phone on the road .as I feared h p wanted nothing to do with a new audiophile computer.
Acer had mild interest, they asked me to look at a model s5. they believe that they can modify this machine to work as an audiophile server.
I do not know that machine, if a couple of you would take a look at it I'd appreciate it , I will be back friday night and check the thread then thanks,They were talking about a $999 retail.
