"Isn't that sort of like cutting off your nose to spite your face?"I'm not doing the cutting, it's not my nose and not my face.
You think we're losing out but I think we've managed very well without DSD and will continue to manage without it.
"Yes, I am saying it is superior as a recording medium to both high resolution PCM and high speed analog tape."
I'm disagreeing with you and you seem to have a problem with that."As to the noise issue, you apparently read something somewhere, good for you. Now, go and get some direct experience and see if that changes your preconceptions."
So are you saying that an SACD that we can buy in a shop isn't an exact replica of the master, and if so why not?
This thread is all about SACD as a consumer format and I'll have had at least as much experience as yourself when it comes to listening to SACD, DVD-A and CD so get down off your high horse and stop being so condescending.
I notice you don't answer the question I put to you about how you can possibly state that one format is better than another when the quality will be governed by the digital to analogue converter which will be better at converting one format than the other.
