Re: SACD bombed very, very badly. So,

"Celebrating a recording medium (PCM) that offers a fraction of the resolving power".


You could argue that CD offers a fraction of the resolving of SACD, but PCM in general which must include even 24 bit/192 and higher bit rates?

I celebrate the demise of SACD because it was an attempt by SONY to sell us the same old titles on another format and deprive us of the ability to make perfectly legal copies for our own use.

There's also the fact that many adopters of SACD were very quick to mock anyone who thought SACD wouldn't succeed and basically criticise them for being 'trolls'.

Well, the 'trolls' were right.

Lastly, does DSD not have well documented issues with ultrasonic noise, the old 'velvet curtain'?

No doubt DSD does sound identical to a live mic feed through studio monitors, but are you saying it's any better than high-rez PCM, and if so do you have some unique way of demonstrating this isn't down to the source which may be better at converting DSD than PCM?
