RE: Clark you are so correct.

"If people really believed 'bits is bits' then DVD-A and SACD would have taken off, because more bits equals more resolution."

Most people don't even realize the role of "bits" in the first place. (Which is to be expected, since a lot of engineers don't even get it right.) High-rez hasn't taken off because it was expensive (viewed as a cost-prohibitive audiophile luxury), it lacked mainstream album selection, and the sonics (unlike vinyl) never made people take notice.
