True. But if they have lossless for the surround master, one might expect... Didn't mean to sound so negative about it all, but 24/48 stereo isn't really much better than a CD, and has much more limited playability. I have a preference for sample rate over the bit depth, to tell the truth, if I had to choose one over the other...but we don't really have to choose with BD for any technical reason.

Obviously the selling point is the lossless surround track, but I just wish they'd truly consider the *audiophiles*, as inferred in the link, and offer high quality stereo instead of something that's really more for the AV/HT-philes who are most likely set up to play lossless surround. I guess it makes marketing sense though, considering most people (maybe not here) buy BDPs for video.
