code discs because those earlier anolog

squashed down to a crest factor of less
than 1dB. MASTERING matters a *lot*
more than recording or playback format,
analog or digital.



** Question:

Have you heard even one CD that sounded really good ?

If the answer is no, then keep looking.

If the answer is yes, then there is nothing wrong with the 44.1/16 bit format.

Think it through.
