Funny that Sony call DAC technology that has been around for years "a new Super Audio D/A converter system." 64 times oversampling 1 bit DACs went out with the stone age. They went out because it is physically impossible (mathematically proven in an AES paper) to correctly dither such a system to produce correct linear output.

On another point- I get really upset by content providers flexing their political muscle about "piracy." The largest form of piracy is performed by organised groups who have CD/DVD/SACD duplication equipment in the back of a lorry (in Russia, India, Hong Kong, etc.). They can churn out hundreds of bit-accurate copies in a day.

Companies seem to spend a lot of effort combatting trivial "give a tape to your friend" activity while turning a blind eye to wholesale bootlegging.

Hey ho. 'Tis the way of the world.
