at this point i have no opinion one way or the other!

Bill, you asked Arny, but in my opinion, good-ol' 16-bit "Redbook" CD
audio "done right" is incredibly good.

major agreement!

otoh, afaik CD do not have any error correction

correct me if i'm wrong

i'm guessing (at this point) that SACD
audio disks do have error correction?

If reasonable care was taken in
the recording process (good equipment, the mastering engineer doing his
job right, etc.), the reproduction of stereo audio on many (most?) CD
players will be as close to perfection (in terms of frequency response,
dynamic range, and D/A conversion accuracy) as required outside of a
laboratory environment.

the one major problem i see with CD audio
is that there is no error correction

correct me if i'm wrong

CD does have error correction it's called Reed-Solomon error correction. It
also does full interpolation in case of an error too large to correct.
