RE: DSD to PCM at 352.8 is not bad

My DAC doesn't play 352.8. So I had to reconvert to DSD. It is possible that most of the degradation that I heard came on the reconversion to DSD rather than the downconversion to 352.8.

I do know that conversion from DSD to 352.8 and back to DSD is not transparent, as can be determined by playing the two files. Also, this is known by recording engineers such as the people at Channel Classics. As a result they try to do all the mixing in the analog console connected to the microphone preamplifiers so they can issue pure DSD recordings. Sometimes, however, it is necessary to remix and this involves the trip through 352.8.
