Just to be clear...the only reason I even brought up SACD's is because they're mentioned in Korg's paper. I realize that there are valid reasons to use DSD for recording...I just thought it was odd that they'd mention SACD as one (and, as pointed out, that they implied that it was healthy from a commercial standpoint).

Let's hope that Blu-Ray follows thru, but then again it's up to us audio pro's or it will die too.
Don't think so...nobody cares about us audio pro's. CD's still sell strongly, but the main thing that's taking away from CD sales are digital downloads...it's really up to the consumers.

Also, i have heard PCM masters upsampled to DSD (using high end oversampling converters) that sound much better than the PCM master did. Thats another benefit of 1bit recording now.
How do you know it's not just the higher-end converters themselves that sound so much better?

Quote:
Even some PCM converters uses Sigma-Delta modulation to acheive better conversion.
Right, but who's still using 1-bit converters on the front end?
