Not for everyone...but certainly the > cats ass for me! good tip on the korg recorders, they look pretty intriguing but FUTURE PROOF? dsd seems to me like beta video format was, a techinically better format but very little widespread acceptance...it would be nice to move away from PCM digital audio, but is 1-bit really more future proof than PCM? probably not, they justify it by convertablity, but PCM can be converted into 1 bit format too, so PCM is futureproof too, right? :) hopefully they will be good products but they also have the very likely potential to be forgotten by defeat in a format war...don't believe the hype! :) Nick ------------------------------ ** FOR YOUR REFERENCE ** To unsubscribe from this digest, please send email to dat-heads-unsubscribe@datheads.phish.net If your email address has changed, you may (optionally) send the message to dat-heads-unsubscribe-oldaddress=olddomain@datheads.phish.net and the old address will be removed.
