What I actually said was "you seem to want to present the choices
Philips made as being simply cost-driven"; please note the presence of
"simply".

Then it seems to me that you are reading into what I have said things
which
I didn't say.

Well I guess we both were!

Also not clear to me what you mean by "simply".

Definition 2 of "simply" from the on-line OED: "merely; just:"

If a design decision is "simply" cost-driven then cost is the only
consideration, performance, reliabilty etc. do not figure.

So you'd need to explain what you mean here by "best" if it is
something else,

Lets go back to where this started: "fed up lurker" asserts that taking
the digital filters out of oversampling CD players makes them sound
"better". The actual word he used was "magical" which implies "much
better". I dispute that.

Then your argument wrt that is with him, not me.

Yes of course my argument is with him, it always was. But you seemed keen to
take it on :-)

You seem to be chasing me because of an opinion someone else has asserted.
:-)

Odd, I thought you were the one doing the chasing ;-)

David.
