The thing I couldn't pick up from the story - is this intended to be compatable with existing video Blu-Ray playback equiepment? Since current Blu-Ray players such as the PS3 can playback audio tracks sampled at 192kHZ 24 bit over HDMI - is there a need for another format? The press releases say they will be using 192kHz/24bit DAC's for the demo - so it does not sound like they are exceeding current technology.
Is this simply a new label to indicate high quality audio from recording to playback using existing Blu-Ray technology? I'm not getting it.
Looking forward to it though. I'd love to see high quality "box sets on a disk" or high quality surround mixes as well.
The X-Fi3 keeps with the company's commitment to audio fidelity, thanks to the apt-X codec, which supposedly offers audio quality similar to a wired connection when streaming. On that front, the device also handles FLAC files.
