Geoff isn't a real name? He's been participating here for a long
time, and often contributes very helpful information.

What is his last name? Where does he live? What does he do for a
living?

Right now, he's just arguing about things he has little experience
with.

I've been following his posts for years. He is well informed about
plenty of tech stuff having to do with audio gear and practices. he
lives in Australia. What difference does it make?

That he disagrees with you does not automatically make him
ill-informed. He sometimes disagrees with me, too. Hell, anybody
worth their salt would sometimes disagree with me.

New Zealand actually, and Wood.

Willy seems so irrationally outraged that it appears that he seems confused
in that what I actually suggested was his claim that DSD inherently gives a
better real-world fideltity than SACD or LPCM, and that adding ambiance
channels (now apparently even if synthesised !) somehow increases fidelity.
All in an environment with so many variables (incldung the variable
physiological effects of the listener merely breathing or moving) that by
far outway any type of distortions from those media.

I guess that almost validates those cheesy 'hi-fi' amps of the 80s(?) with
'Reverb' ;-) (that is known as a smiley - some of us can still smile you
know .... )

I say the *format*, not the encoding technology, may give a subjectively
more satisfying experience to him, and maybe others, but that is not
fidelity.
