I agree that a good recording and music making in any format is what matters, but after 16 years of working with DSD recordings (and since starting nativedsd.com) listening to recordings of my colleagues, there is nothing to surpass the depth of sound, the sound being free of the speakers, stereo imagery. Don't be fooled by upsampled recordings. any kind of sample rate converters (up or down) are filters. You might even like what these filters are doing in your specific system - and that is your own taste. no one will dispute that as that is what you hear. But DSD recordings have the sense of emotion and life that I have not heard in pcm material. I appreciate Chris for mentioning me in his blog. I have been working with format because I enjoy it. enjoy the challenge of every recording in trying to pass on this emotion in the music that I hear and try to recreate for the listeners. Sometimes I even succeed!

Despite Sony technical saying the STR-DA5400ES (UK version with HATS) at the final stage converts to PCM, after 7 years of using this excellent AVR & the excellent STR-XA5400ES SACD player, I have only just discovered that there is provision on the remote to enable the receiver to output 5 channel DSD which is displayed on the AVR screen as DSD 3/2 , I now agree with Jared for a change.
