45 downloads, roughly half 24 bit other half DSD, and I'd give DSD a slight edge with orchestral strings

Going from a pcm recording to DSD doesn't distract at all, but I find myself just ever so slighlty aware of coarseness when coming back to PCM from DSD, but it's so negligible that I'm desensitized within a few minutes.

Solo and chamber works in 24 bit are fine; full orchestra recordings are more variable. Imho Bissie got a better string sound with 44hz with the Netherland's orchestra than the Bergen in 96. Different halls, string sections of course. But whe in comes to orchestral sound being "all of a piece," DSD has pleases me more often thus far. Pentatone and Channel are jewels in the crown. I'll be listening to my first LSO Live recorded at the Barbican in DSD in minutes: Davis' Sibelius 2nd.

I even have a few "double DSD" recordings of reel to reel tapes from HDTT, but no wow factor.
