Here is my 2 cents.
I understand both sides of the argument and both side have there points. But if you can have the best sounding music and a system to reproduce it why not. You can't argue the price because it is some what affordable. I remember back in the day cassettes then CD's. I new many that said , oh no i don't like CD's, i will stay with my cassette tapes. Now tapes are no more. Once they heard it and found out that the sound quality stayed the same from the 1st time playing it to the 100th time. No more worn out tapes with low quality sound. And faster searching to the one song you liked and many other things. Some say, oh you can't have HD if you can't hear it. With HD it captures more of the audio signal and sound that is being played. As some i have read say that, you just don't hear it you feel it. Now we have moved into USB ports in car audio. No more CD's with only limited songs on there. I now can have my WD 1TB portable drive with my over 6000 songs on it at my finger tips. Even streaming sound too. I don't know what will be in audio in say 10 years or 20 years. Maybe something better then Hi Def sound.
Now Hi Def and CD's. With Hi Def it will record more of the original music the artist was intending for you to hear. Yes CD's sound good but it still don't capture all the music. Most of you have recently purchased a 4K TV yes. Why did you not just get a standard HD TV ? Same argument. 4k has better picture quality and you see much more of the picture that is showing.
I can remember back in the day in 90's and early 2000's the Bachbusters 100% digital CD that was played at lot of the sound off shows. Many had to visit the car audio shop on Monday for new Sub's. That was 100% recorded and mastered and put on CD in digital format with quality sound.
I understand the limitations of HD sound too. To get full 100% HD it has to be recorded in HD and mastered and saved in HD. And when i last year looked into this HD sound i read someplace that even in mid 2000's some music artist ( that could afford to record in) recorded songs in
Hi Def studio recordings. The problem was that when it was mastered and saved to CD it was not in HD sound. So some of the studios have pulled out the old master tapes and now releasing them in HD. But i also read that in today's time more and more music artists are recording there songs in studio in HD sound. So that is a plus. As you know as more of this gets popular the price always comes down.
I remember it took me a number of years to switch over to CD sound back in the day because it was kind of pricey for a wile. As it got more popular the price went down and i was able to purchas my first home CD player. My first car CD player was the Pioneer that had that separate brain unit that had to us the din plug and mount it under the seat. Late 90's i think. I could only afford it because it was a factory Pioneer refurbished unit i purchased from a on-line high line car audio place. Worked great. But today i have a Hi Def sound system in my vehicle and the price was not so bad. I have most of my songs not in HD but in hi quality wave sound. With the HD system in there, to me it makes the music sound better. I have not but little by little I intend to purchase and start building my Hi Def music colection. I have music editing software on my home computer with a great sound card and stuff. I can remaster and enhance the sound and basiclly remaster music. It has the capability to do Hi Def 24bit and more and all that. So with a HD sound system it is capable of reproducing what i give it at the best quality sound. But if you are one of those people that have a boom box on wheels, you know the ones that drive down the street and all you here is
boom boom boom and no vocals or highs. Hi Def may not be for you.
So if you are like me and like to hear the best quality sound you can get, look into High Def sound. Thanks
