Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

ever read the Moncrieff stuff, or has that been discredited??

Hi there, in a long diatribe against SACD, on www.iar-80.com, Moncrieff pretty much slams the DSD model, saying the sound is more homogenized and less informative in the treble, and saying the amount of information is actually less than in the PCM system; DSD is a one bit system that mangles the signal to come close to 20 bit resolution.
I'm not an engineer, but I've never been overly impressed overall with SACD sound, there's less 'there' there, it's phasey sounding, and it's not as immediate and punchy as PCM.
