I think DSD donwload is a bigger blunder than SACD for Sony. Between SACD and DSD, I would choose SACD any day. At least I own the SACD after I buy it. As I recall from reading your insightful comments on the "DSD movement," do we really need another version on Kind of Blue? Instead of wasting my money on a new format that is less likely to succeed than any one before it, I have have also been buying up classical CDs at absurdly low prices. Latest purchase: The Complete Recordings of the fantastic pianist Maria Joao Pires on Erato, 17cds for $50 new on Amazon. $50 would probably get me two DSD downloads what may or may not sound better if my PC operating system did not crash.
