Re: A DXD converter is 384KHz PCM with 32 bit precision math capability

Thanks for the clarification Graemme. Actually, I was responding to the post above mine that referenced a particular A/D converter that some folks think is an improved form of DSD, but is actually PCM. To me the difference is important.

Like you, I also wouldn't generalize recordings based on the workstation used either, and I wasn't. But I do think the converter employed, and its technology, is important. If SA-CD's acknowledged superiority is because of, or largely contributed to by DSD, why not use DSD for the entire process? All other hardware and aesthetic preferences of course recognized.
