At Present my Powerbook via Protools is 24/96 recording and playback capable already and for "only" $450, inclusive of editing and mastering functionality. It may in fact bypass DVD-A, SACD, and Blue Ray for the simple reason that costs for the record companies will be so much less because they get to bypass the replication stage.

They all thought that Columbus was crazy when he said the world was round.
What you have just stated may well be the case in the very near future. However let's cross the bridge when we get there.

We read words and comments against digital such as "clinical" hehe, I sure hope none of these guys ever have to go under the knife in dirty unsterile conditions to avoid infections which would ultimately kill them eh?

bagohan lang ako dito at ng binasa ko ang buong thread, sa tingin ko ay hindi digital ang pinaguusapan dito. puro kantiyawan lamang at insultohan ang nababasa ko. puro insulto ng analog galing kay softclipper kaya nag rereact ang ibang members, kaya dumami ang replies and views. siguro pag may thread na simulan at lait laitin din ang vacuum tubes, marami rin sigurong hits and replies yun. magaspang magsalita ang nagsimula ng thread at parang walang kaibigan kaya maraming reactors

i dont think liking analog sound has anything to do with wanting an infection. it would require an inordinate amount of creativity to link the two together. the word clinical has to be taken into context. clinical sound being unalive and uninvolving. an infection is something everybody does not want whether you're into analog or digital. i just wonder why the DAC of my CD player keeps converting the clean digital signal into analog.
