Computer Audio Asylum

DSD won't "Fix" audio files. If something is too edgy or aggressive for me, I just don't listen too it.

"Bite" isn't something I necessarily value.
What-Hi-Fi talks about that all the time, they usually want more.

OK - but "bite" is certainly something I hear in live music [nt] - Chris from Lafayette 09:21:38 11/12/16 (6)
- I associate that with music that is too loud. nt - oldmkvi 09:26:42 11/12/16 (5)

      Hi, I didn't mean that an edgy Instrument shouldn't sound edgy, or a Violin digging in to the strings shouldn't have that grunt.
      I was referring to overall peaks in the playback.
      I never really go for Concert Hall realism in PB Volume.
      One reviewer said he wanted 5th Row Concert Hall Volume in his home,
      which for me is ridiculous, and he may end up damaging his ears that way, IMHO.

      I've come to the conclusion that it's pointless to have these Format Conversations.
      So I for one will bow out at this point.

        I would not suggest that one is necessarily 'better' than the other.

        I agree, and we are all lucky to have so many alternatives,
        both in Music selection and playback equipment.
        I do sometimes think there's a lot of negative energy directed at DSD.
        
        Certainly not every woodwind player uses the same equipment I do.
        It's the results that matter.
        Not that many wouldn't sound better if they used what I do, tho...
        
        Well, there I go again!
        As long as Trump doesn't outlaw DSD, I'll be Ok.
        
        Blue Coast says the DAC matters more than the format.
        My DSD-only Dac sounds better than my Mytek, so I use it most.
        Maybe in a few years I'll get something better yet, and for all formats.
        Of course, I'll be 105, but Hey...!
