—Edward Foster, Super Audio CD: Evolutionary or Revolutionary?, Audio, November 1999, Vol. 83, No. 10, pp. 40-47. Can someone clarify if the stereo track on a DVD-A is an "automated mixdown" as reported by Edward Foster in 1999?? It may not have been a simple transfer of the DVD-A master, if they had to put together a stereo DSD track for the ... more
