Mainstream is fine with mp3's and listening to their music on ipods, ipads, etc...why would they care at all about the incremental improvement that 24/96 recordings provide?George
I GOT KICKED IN THE FACE LAST NIGHT !!!!!!!Haha gotchya....
ok i was just wondering why mainstream hasn't jumped on the 96khz or 192khz bandwagon yet?. Is it because their recordings are so ramped up with high rms that their is no room for 96khz so why bother? I would like to know why they don't.
plz remember mainstream NEVER was audiophile. mainstream analogue in the 60-89s was a cheap turntable of 200 $ an Audio Technica or Shure cartridge of 50 dollars and Sherwood receiver or Pioneer in the centre of the setup/ The quality of the LP was ( by chance?) way beyond than what mainstream wanted out of itbut is'n this true for all mainstream? Movies? restaurants? and worst of all TV programs? Have you tasted mainstream beer? Compared it ever to a Belgian Rochefort 10 or Westmalle tripel?
If this is true then HiRez could get a huge positive jolt!!http://www.macrumors.com/2011/02/22/apple-reportedly-looking-to-offer-24-bit-music-files-in-itunes-store/
George, when have we ever cared about the "overwhelming majority"? HiRez will always be a niche, but as niches go, this would be a nice foundational commitment.
