Work of Satan Mike. The sound quality is allegedly worse than normal CD although I really don't see why that should be the case at all. I suspect thats some people's prejudices coming through (like mine!).

I understand that the format is not expected to be that popular for a variety of reasons, more interesting is whether CD will be upgraded generally to HDCD or some other improved format which takes CD to the standard it should have been when launched in what was yet another great consumer rip off. :angry:
