Yes, you were arguing with me. You told me that what I said was not correct when, in the context of the post I was answering, what I said is exactly correct.

You really should not be allowed to make posts that disagree with other posters. You wield too much power and abuse it…

just to say - using DSD as a substitute for analogue recorders seems an excellent use for the format - as it allows use of that finest of musical instruments the analogue mixing console to be used to its fullest, instead of just being a tool for getting inputs into digital (pcm) format.

I am sorry, I do not know what else I can do for you. I have accepted your explanation multiple times.

As for the merits of your post, I leave this to others; I do not listen to Steely Dan or Jethro Tull.

Speed, I understand you want to fight and argue. I m not going to take up your invitation.

If you need to continue to take shots at me, please switch to PMs so as not to additionally clutter this thread.

Thanks!
