John, I did try a couple, but the file sizes were so large, and it took so much time to process that I set it aside early on.

I've found 24/192 to be the best combination of quality and file size for me, though the files are still huge. An album at 24/192 consumes between 2.5 and 3 gig. Storing, saving, copying and processing are all issues. I keep a copy of the raw file, as well as the WAV-based file split into tracks. Then, I have the FLAC version needed to play on my laptop and portable units (Sony A17 and Pono player), as they are limited to 128 - 196 gig. Memory is cheap, but that's still a LOT of memory.

I use TASCAMs HiRes Editor to process the files. With DSD, it would take minutes to open files, and minutes to export. And more minutes to copy. As I turned 60 this year, I'm not sure I have enough time left to deal with DSD, LoL. 2TB hard drives fill QUICKLY. And my 1TB drive on my laptop is already bumping at it's limits.

I've recently bought a Chord Mojo, which processes DSD, for my desktop listening, so that may prompt me to re-do certain of my favorites in DSD in the future.

In any event, Happy New Year to you and yours, and again, MANY thanks.
