Re: What you believe ...

is simply not accurate. And since you have no personal experience, you are simply repeating what you have read somewhere.

Your comments about the conversion processes as fatally flawing DSD are nonsense. Every recording medium is "converted" between types of information and if you want to see some jagged nasties, take a look at equalization curves necessary to make analog work. Do you understand the principles of a cutting head?

The real question is which process of transcription best preserves the original event and that is DSD, at least in our current technology.

I know this because the specs support it, the experts support it, and in direct experience with all three recording media, my personal experience supports it. I have done listening sessions with groups as diverse as the leadership of Concord Records (who migrated to DSD, at least when they were actually interested in making real recordings), the Basie Band, and one particularly interesting sessions with the Manhattan Transfer.

What is your source?

And referring to, and appreciating the "finer things" does not make me a snob; that is what this hobby is supposed to be about.

Would you sniff at an oenophile who rightfully opines that a properly preserved pre war Latour makes the best of California just grape juice? Or a car fan who insists that a McLaren F-1 is superior to the current generation Detroil muscle, is a snob?

Ok, admittedly I have been batting you around a bit, but when you blithely choose to trample upon some very hard fought ground,without any direct experience to cite you make yourself a target.

Tell me about your experiences with recording music in these three media we are discussing, and then perhaps you will earn a bit more respect.
