New DVD-Audio music releases and talk about the latest players.

no misunderstanding at all

as i recall (which may be incorrect), the cd digital audio format was designed with a goal of 90dB S/N ratio.

the fact that many cd players exceed the design goal is due to techniques such as oversampling.

what i stated was that i believe sony/phillips designed dsd to be no worse than the cd spec (ie. 90dB) in the worst case.

in which case, any s/n ratio better than 90dB is "per spec" in my opinion.

i could of course be wrong and will be happy for someone to point this out. but until then, i am not concerned with the results in stereophile since i don't believe they subjectively impact the listening experience (as stereophile themselves point out).
