    The article contains nothing that most of us don't already know and it's a blatant propaganda paper in favour DVD-A dressed up as something serious :rolleyes:

    Not that this report is promoting DVD-A or anything.

    Agree.

    Here is another link.

    ESP link

    One interesting point rised, well at least for me, is this.

    quote.

    I think it is a little embarrassing that no good DVD-A recordings have been released so far. They have all been of inferior quality. This has of course not made it easier for ordinary people to make a relevant opinion about the differences in the systems. The SACD recordings from Jan-Erik Persson at Opus3 are far superior everything released from DVD-A.

    Now, when looking at "recordings in holistic view", the debate of the storing media/system is much less important than the skills of the recording engineer – a good recording stored on compact cassette is far superior to a bad recording stored on DVD-A. But every debate has its time and place. It is not relevant to point out more important issues when we are about to choose a new storage media.

    This time the storage media (SACD versus DVD-A) is the question, and it can very easily be distorted by comparing the systems on different recordings. The better recording will always win.

    The music is even more important of course, than the recording, but it is entirely subjective – not much to debate about.

    Sorry I did not get you question last time. I post the link to see if every one think this is the true reason why recordings in the new format sounds better.

    No I don't have any more reference. I do not have a SACD or DVDA player yet. If I found anymore I'll post it.
