Do you mean for streaming? Because you can already buy audio in those formats.

I mean for physical formats

I mean for physical formats

Yes, it already exists. You can buy Bluray format albums and there are other high quality physical formats.

It exists but there hasn't been a proliferation of it, there's no mass-availability and there hasn't been a pilgrimage to the format in automobiles

No point. High majority of people will not hear shyt like that, and 99% won't buy headphones that will show the difference

I don't care . . push it on them. They don't know what they want. Just package it up and make it look cool

No...


Tidal is HD audio you fool.

Anything higher would be overkill and the file sizes would be too large for something that the human ear can't even hear.....it's a science b.

 

[Cladyclad]

Are they about to be on a format that's hard to bootleg?

Large companies aren't going to push anything when they know that the majority of people are fine with mp3s. Audiophile sound is going to remain a niche market.

If I buy an album because I want to show support... I'm always going to purchase the physical copy

I used to be like that but in the last 15 years I've only bought one cd, it was the weeknd trilogy, only because he gave all that music away for free digitally


I just buy digital singles or digital albums now when I wanna show support

 

[StatUS]

24 bit would be cool but 99% of people will not be able to tell the difference. 32 is just wasting space.

Beats headphones won't sell because customers are already cool with earbuds
