Worthwhile editorial on MP3 Threat to High-End

This guy knows bugger all. He's confuses sample rate with data rate. Are the contributors for this rag always so terminally dumb ? IME technically competent High End reviewers are few and far between. Look at Stereophile, for example. Other than Atkinson and a few others, how many there know an ohm from a volt or a sample rate from a data rate? |
