Klassik has known
@Le Baron for a number of years and has been on a number of different music forums where we are both members. Le Baron is a musician and has extensive knowledge of classical and jazz music. Klassik is also aware of Le Baron's equipment which includes, or at least included at one time, a SACD player and several classical SACDs. As a trained musician with good equipment, Le Baron is in a position to make judgements about whether he thinks high-res gets one closer to music or not.
Also, this is not just a Hi-Fi forum, but it's also a music forum. Here's the header image of the forum if people have not taken a look at it lately:
Le Baron discusses Hi-Fi and music. Given that this thread is about sources, Le Baron and many others have discussed his relationship between Hi-Fi and music as it relates to sources. Le Baron may or may not be a member of the million dollar cable club (maybe he is, our discussion of cables are about as frequent as our discussion of the appreciation of the music of Franz Schubert [emoji23]), but his equipment is superior to what is in probably well over 90% of homes. Is that not enough equipment for one, a musician no less, to discuss their relationship between Hi-Fi and music?
