Thought this might be of some interest to you audiophiles.

* Yet another format doomed to fail

I'm sorry, I can't see this taking off. Even with a ton of content, Sony can hardly convince people to buy Blu-Spec CDs that will play in any normal CD player. Talk about a music format requiring not-CD players (SACD, DVD-A, CODE, MVI)...? And these were promoted by people who own content. Plus, didn't even say "Blu-ray profile 3.0"

I'm not dissing the idea - I love hirez audio, but... I'm not optimistic

Not even surround? pfft...

I've been told that Blu-ray audio discs don't offer any performance advantages over SACD. Is this true?

In principle, I'm in favor of any advancement in home audio reproduction.

I'm just wondering why these folks think there is a market for high resolution audio when the reception of DVD-A and SACD was marginal at best (and I have a collection of both formats).

well here is something else regarding Hi-Res Audio Blu-Ray

isn't that talking about the same thing in the original post?

For the most part, yeah. The blu-ray article also adds more, profile 3.0
