You can disagree with him - and I certainly do, but you have to at least read what he wrote. DVD-audio should be interesting and SACD should be solid competition for it. We will see. Andy also misinterprets my film analogy. He apparently thinks that he disagrees with me, but I don't think that he does.
Film is better right now.
I am not saying that digital technology will not reach the point that it is imperceptibly different than film. It very well might. This is a 'discussion' I have held with friends in the past. As an Electronics Engineer I feel I have a good understanding of the technical sides of this argument and will try to focus on the ability of Digital or Analog to accurately reproduce what it is that is recorded. This means that signals with rapid transients are only approximated.
