In last week's Soapbox, reader Norman Tracy suggested that audiophiles not wait for DVD-Audio, but instead support the 24/96 DAD format, whose discs can be played on current DVD-Video players. Do you agree? Have you bought any DADs?
Have you bought any DAD software for your home DVD player? How many discs have you purchased?

It would seem that every generation remembers the good ol' days of music, before the kids turned it all into mush. Or is that just a fallacy proven wrong by every new release?
Do you think music (any genre you prefer) is getting better, worse, or staying the same? Please explain.
