it difficult to come to the hub with anything new and they need to
start somewhere.
When I came to the hub, my first offering share was something like
150GB of retail DVD-A nothing DTS.
I agree that hardware encoded DTS is fine sounding usually and I find
it perfectly acceptable as an almost Hi Res format. But what I see
arriving with so many new people over the last 6 months is the same
old catalogue of DTS-CDs and sacd conversions to SACD that they picked
up from the green dragon and such outlets. The majority of what they
bring as their 1st share is what our hub members made and even older
Mojave stuff from years ago.
I don't see why others can't do what I did and bring something of real
value and true Hi Res as a 1st share.
I've no argument with people that have fancy cars that play only DTS -
CDs. They do what they need to do to get their music in their cars, in
as best format as possible and if they prefer mp3 sound in surround
overbetter quality stereo in a noisy car then I can't criticise them
for that.
Like I started with.....I'm tired of looking at the same tired old dts
catalogue from all out newbies when they could be bringing something
fresh. Again If as a newbie I can do it then anyone can do it.
Maybe not outlaw DTS-CDs but request people, please at least try to do
better than they do at present.
