RE: PCM via BluRay is a step backwards not forward from DSD. Perhaps in the future DSD downloads? Who knows?

Now there's a thought.

However, until "such a day", it seems that the folks who insist
on having all their music on a server (of which I seem to have
become one) have taken to **re-digitizing** their SACDs
(into high-rez PCM, of course), with a decent A/D converter,
in order to be able to get the stuff onto the PC.

And there we have another way in which Sony, wearing its
hat as Sony Music [guardian of the Columbia Records catalog]
has shot itself in the foot with respect to SACDs.
SACD (and DSD) are completely proprietary -- you can't
rip 'em, you can't send the signal to an external DAC,
you can't process 'em with your favorite DSP software,
etc., etc. Even DVD-As have turned out to be rippable
(though I wouldn't dare tell you how! ;-> ), and DVD-A
authoring software has gotten into the hands of the
masses. Not so with SACD.
