It looks like about 1/3 think bitstream is better.]]>Apr 12th 2008 7:44AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/11/drm-strikes-again-pc-users-still-wait-for-next-gen-audio/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/11/drm-strikes-again-pc-users-still-wait-for-next-gen-audio/Apr 12th 2008 5:08AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/11/drm-strikes-again-pc-users-still-wait-for-next-gen-audio/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/11/drm-strikes-again-pc-users-still-wait-for-next-gen-audio/]]>Apr 12th 2008 7:43AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/11/drm-strikes-again-pc-users-still-wait-for-next-gen-audio/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/11/drm-strikes-again-pc-users-still-wait-for-next-gen-audio/Apr 12th 2008 9:40AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/11/drm-strikes-again-pc-users-still-wait-for-next-gen-audio/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/11/drm-strikes-again-pc-users-still-wait-for-next-gen-audio/No he seems to be right, I went back and looked at a sample of 10 new releases from big studios and 8 of 10 of them were 48/16, but yeah the rest were 48/24.

Either way, he has a point, it's not as bad as going back to AC3 or DTS.]]>Apr 12th 2008 9:41AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/11/drm-strikes-again-pc-users-still-wait-for-next-gen-audio/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/11/drm-strikes-again-pc-users-still-wait-for-next-gen-audio/Apr 12th 2008 2:02PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/11/drm-strikes-again-pc-users-still-wait-for-next-gen-audio/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/11/drm-strikes-again-pc-users-still-wait-for-next-gen-audio/Apr 12th 2008 2:04PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/11/drm-strikes-again-pc-users-still-wait-for-next-gen-audio/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/11/drm-strikes-again-pc-users-still-wait-for-next-gen-audio/

To me it seems like promising and failing to deliver. I'd give it a bit to see if they can sort it out in software, if not, sue MS, Creative, and ATI/Nvidia.

Why mess with it yourself when you can force the people who you paid to take care of it to do their jobs?]]>Apr 12th 2008 12:04PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/11/drm-strikes-again-pc-users-still-wait-for-next-gen-audio/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/11/drm-strikes-again-pc-users-still-wait-for-next-gen-audio/Apr 12th 2008 2:15PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/11/drm-strikes-again-pc-users-still-wait-for-next-gen-audio/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/11/drm-strikes-again-pc-users-still-wait-for-next-gen-audio/Apr 13th 2008 9:22AM
