    Xrcd, Xrcd2, Xrcd24??

    Anyone have any of these? How good are they as compared to SACD and DVD A. Are they multi channel or just 2 channel.

    What is the differance between 2 and 24?

    Thanks!

    These are higher resolution recordings of 2-channel CD. I have a couple of these discs, but not too many. They do sound good, but not on par with decent SACD and DVD-A.

    Difference between 2 and 24? Ummm... 22? (sorry, I keep trying to resist these things) It would be the bitrate in which it was mastered.

    Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

        SACD? Who needs it
        by Lex
        While doing that thing we don't like to talk about in the "library", I came across a little article on something called XRCD. At the time, obviously, I was to busy to get online, lol. I forgot that day, then a while ago was thinking, seems like it was XRCD.com. Sure enough, the old noodle...

        Digital Formats Preferences - Redbook/XRCD/K2HD/LPCD45/SACD/etc
        by HedgeHog
        Hi all,

        Just wondering if there's a consensus to which one is preferable if there are multiple formats to a recording. I know some redo the mastering, which makes a huge difference. But in general, is there a preferable format?

        by Frank T.
        Having become quickly a die-hard afficionado of multi-channel (ONLY) SACD recordings, I fear for the future of the format and have sent an eMail letter to a dozen SACD content providers which I duplicate here and humbly ask everyone with influence to carry the message on:
