Electric proms in HD sound now.

Hi Ken, I only found your post just now, I thought this group was dead?
Anyway, the subject of HD sound may have been discussed in this group,
but I clicked on the link above, and then in my toolbar searched "HD Sound"
and "BBC HD Sound", there isn't such a thing is there?
From what I can discern the BBC's "HD Sound" is just a higher bit rate,
a search reveals nothing else apart from it is the Beebs higher bit rate
and only available via it's iplayer, so internet only on a browser and from
the Beeb only!
I did a quick search on "Hi-Def sound", then widened it to "Hi-Def audio",
try it, you'll get results covering everything from Dolby/DTS, through to
Blu-Ray, SACD etc etc, covering 16/48, 24/96, 24/192, etc. But the Beebs
claim isn't anything more than a compressed stream at a higher bit rate.
You didn't fall for the BBC guff did you Ken?
