Yep. You'll hear a lot more of that in the future. Sonoma is being improved in some interesting ways. (128, 256 and 512fs?) Burr-Brown 4222 is a good place to start for 128fs. Watch this space.

Not really. That's sort of smoke and mirrors too. Yes, HDCD does use gain cues to enable certain passages to be boosted and others to be attenuated. And the delta between the potential loudest passage on HDCD and digital zero is indeed more than 16 bits of dynamic range. Because of that, a >16 bit DAC needs to be run at the decoding end for that ... more
