Heh at this guy professing the awesome that is "high resolution audio", when he's a few years away from needing a hearing aid.

Personally, as hard as I've tried, and I've tried many times, I completely fail to notice a difference between 320kbps MP3 and FLAC, with Sennheiser headphones on. Just another thing people won't care about that Sony is weirdly banking on.
 
If the world was a better place, BD-Audio would've replaced CDs and would deliver 5.1 uncompressed hires sound...but MP3 and streaming is king now ;(
 
Talks about high resolution audio, never mentions sample and quantification rates.

Hi-Res audio is already introduced... this is just new products for it.

It has new hardware so you can notice the difference when you load high res audio file.

Here's that quote you're so thirsty for.

Looking forward to see the Z3 tablet.

Pointless, nobody mixes for surround anyway. Not even movie soundtracks, which are meant for a surround presentation. :P
 
This is probably going to be Kunimisa's last conference. He got a big demotion a couple of days ago and now he is basically just a figurehead with no power within the unit. Kaz has taken over his other roles.

You can tell by how unenthusiastic he is that he knows he is on his way out

Kaz has always been one of the better speakers in the industry, regardless.

Finally the Z3.
