HD Audio

What's the latest HD Audio standard these days, I remember DVD Audio discs came out a couple of years ago and although they sounded fantastic imo they never really seemed to take off for whatever reason.

So is there a new standard out?

Is it easy to get hold of HD music files in electronic format?

If so is it possible to stream these to the Xbox 360?

Re: HD Audio

Still DVD-A or SACD are your options, I gave up on both and am sticking with CD's.

Don't know if you can stream anyway by converting to PCM to the 360, but the 360 really screws up CD PCM by upsampling to 48KHz so I wouldn't expect too much of it.

Slingshot
