^^ I'm hoping this becomes 100 percent accurate and true. I'm VERY interested and eager for Blu-Ray Audio to take off!

Our DIVERTIMENTI is 100% according to the official Blu-ray specifications. Unfortunately all players are not. Due to the 192kHz rate in multichanel, not all players have the processing power required for decoding, and therefore some still "cut corners." PlayStation3 is one of the machines equipped with sufficient power to handle all formats.

Wait a minute, shouldn't that have been "no real audiophile would use a PS/3 as a transport or decoder"?

The mandatory copyright protection, one that we actually don't want, is another obstacle in the astronomic fees charged by AACS. But my hopes are high for the Blu-ray format, and in a year from now the fabrication costs should be at the present level of DVD, making it possible even for small record labels as 2L to make Blu-ray a standard carrier for music.

I wonder if he's saying he doesn't want CP, or doesn't want ONE of the CPs (e.g. ROM-mark)?

Very interesting comment on matching DVD level costs in only another year.
