- Yes the format, i.e., sampling rate, has not changed. There's a world
- of difference between the cd players of the early eighties and the current
- top of the heap designs. And this is in the digital domain (DAC's). Perhaps
- you are making a joke of my use of the word "digital" to catagorize all
- aspects of the current digital technology applied to audio signal reproduction.
