If you want to still enjoy the only format
delivering lossless audio

well, technically, that ain't so.

If it's digital, it's lost something somewhere along the line.

We hear analog waveforms. We don't hear digital bits.

Yes, but not wanting to be anal all the time I don't think it
necessary to include "lossless delivery" everytime I mention lossless
audio - I presume that most people know that part.

Lossless:
.wav
.flac
.shn
.ape
Dolby TrueHD
dts-HD Master Audio

Lossy:
.mp3
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital EX
Dolby Digital Plus
dts/dts-ES/dts-96/24
dts-HD High Resolution

There are over three times as many lossless audio tracks on Blu-ray
than on HD DVD.

As pretty much all motion pictures' soundtracks are now recorded and
mastered at 24/48 (except the score which is normally 24/96) then
lossless PCM, dts-MA and TrueHD tracks deliver a bit-for-bit
representation of the original tracks.

While I enjoy the lossless tracks myself, the reality is that most of
the consumer market won't hear them because their equipment won't accept
it at all. Heck, most of them are still using the TV speakers.

BTW, got my PS3 and all I can say is WOW!! I'm so pissed at myself that
I didn't chuck that S300 when I first got it. Load times are near
instant and flexibility is superb, as is the PQ and AQ.
