DVD-Audio man.

Actually sasha and digweed shouldn't be bad in MP3.  All depends on the
records used that night though, I guess.  

I'm seriously considering buying a record player.  I have a ton of
records, and wouldn't mind being able to listen to some of them (I got
them from my grandmother.  I'm sure a lot of them are probably crap, but
there are some nice classical records, if nothing else.)  Plus, the local
music store I visit the most just started carrying vinyl.  Haven't had a
chance to look through it yet (last time I was there, I was in too much of
a hurry).

Hey, has anyone ever tried to design their own ADC or DAC before?  I
wonder if it would be practical to get a custom designed logrithmic set of
chips for some truly killer digital audio.  Pretty much all software would
need to be rewritten though...
