******** codec meets legacy format...
Maybe it’s time for SACD to make a comeback? At the time, and along with DVD-Audio, a push was made about the multi-channel benefits - surely that is more relevant then ever now? Particularly with 5.1 Bluray audio discs being available.DougK said:For me SACD offered something tangible but that failed to make an impact.

I agree with both of you. MQA might have been handy a decade ago on dialup internet. Now it’s just Bob Stuart’s pension fund, he hopes.DougK said:daveh75 said:Gray said:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m31r1GHPPdA

I wish SACDs would make a comeback but can’t see that happening it basically came out at the wrong time and to late and now we get music sound formats codes that most people do not understand and basically blinding and confusing people with science .davidf said:Maybe it’s time for SACD to make a comeback?

Not keen on foo fighters but i would all of the black sabbath albums and Ozzys solo albums and most of my music collection but its just to much money to do that .Vladimir said:Blacksabbath25 said:Ozzy Osborne was asked if he was going to make a new solo album and he turned round and said no way it’s just to expensive to make one theses days and he has making albums for 50 years and a lot of new bands or singers are finding out that they can make more money through YouTube theses days .
He has more money than oil sheiks, it's a marketing stunt. He's following the trend because everyone now hates the music industry and going 'independant' is what the cool kids do. The album will sound equally **** as if it was made in a high end recording studio, and it's probably still going to get distributed everywhere on every format anyway. How much will the promotion spend on advertising?
BTW - Why would anyone buy this on SACD?

Vladimir said:Most of SACD is upsampled 16/44 and in some case also remastered with added loudness to simulate higher resolution. Louder always sounds better.
If we want better sounding music, we need the industry to do better at recording, producing, mixing, mastering, etc. The packaging after all the damage is done is irrelevant. Independant artists who do their own work throughout the process often sound better than what multi-million dollar studios and hot shot producers end up making.

Can I just say that I question the evidence for that first sentence.

That would be all of the SACD catalogue.

And a lot of that was derived from analogue tapes so not sure where you get the upsampled CD bit from.

Al ears said:Oh, and there are still people recording new material directly to DSD and issuing SACD discs.
