How about a little proof from Cornell? How about an example of a sound that=
cannot be as faithfully rendered by MD as it can by DAT? Cornell is a
scientific organization, no? How about some science from them? None has yet=

been putting out there for years. They wouldn't accept such unsubstantiated=
data from an undergraduate student.
