I think your assertion that "HDCD, DTS, SACD, and DVD-A offer little
or no sonic advantage." should be tempered with the following
article.


Why are you including DTS in this discussion of hi-rez formats?
It clearly isn't higher rez, seeks a slightly different market with
the concert video vs just music and is multichannel. But it ain't
hi-rez.

"Swedish Radio and DTS announce that they have made two more pioneering
steps in delivering the highest quality surround sound ever in a live
broadcast: First, Swedish Radio is the first broadcaster to utilize DTS
96/24 high resolution digital surround sound for a live event; and second,
Swedish Radio proved the capability of offering DTS 96/24 via Internet
broadband streaming. These advances come one year after Swedish Radio
commenced the world's first broadcast of surround sound via satellite
utilizing the scalable DVB-compliant audio technology from DTS. Offering
a sample rate double that of standard DVDs, DTS 96/24 offers the highest
resolution available to broadcasters."

"Texas Instruments are to demonstrate an all-digital, universal system at
CES 2003 next week. The Texas semiconductor manufacturer has integrated a
FireWire IEEE-1293 interface, multi-channel digital signal processor and
digital amplifier technologies onto a single board, which will enable the
company to show attendees the ability to create an integrated
high-resolution path from source component to loudspeakers using TI
technologies."


"The Texas Instruments Semiconductor Division's demonstration of the
single-board system at CES, will take place at booth 6802 in the Las Vegas
Convention Center. Product capabilities include:
a.. Native IEEE-1394 networking
b.. Dolby Digital, DTS and full-resolution digital SACD and DVD-Audio
c.. Optional content protection for compatibility with high- resolution
formats
d.. High performance, flexible, multi-format audio decoding with a
re-programmable 32/64-bit audio processing
e.. TI PurePath DigitalT amplifiers

"How can video save the audio star? Recent announcements from both Dolby
and DTS have revealed plans to add high-resolution lossless audio formats
to one or both impending High Definition video disc formats. And if one or
both of these primarily HD video formats takes off, high-resolution audio
will be along for the ride."
I suggest you do a little google searching next time, Scotty.

I suggest you be a little more specific as DTS and DTS 96/24 are hardly the
same thing to any reasonably qualified audio engineer.
