Blu-ray CD - the future of High Resolution music?

[blindcat87]

If you have read the discussion, the reasons behind the failure of previous attempts have been discussed and they have nothing to do with consumers not caring about quality, but inconveniences of the new formats and consumers not being informed of quality differences. The differences are easy to hear and one does not need an expensive system to hear it, just a standard surround system or even a stereo system will do.

Dismissing the idea because previous attempt failed for reasons that can be avoided by a new format is no reason to dismiss it out of hand.

CDs are still around because they already sound great. If anything music sales are showing that people don't mind even sacrificing cd quality to mp3s/aac.. These formats currently have no future at all imo.
