RE: DOA

I am implore you to check for your self..go on superhirez.com and hit the DSD search tab. Take a look at the numbers.

Sure there is an "SACD master" for every SACD that was pressed, but that is roughly 11,000 all told, and a decent number had PCM stages during mastering.

I personally like the sound of DSD128. I know of exactly ONE popular title in that format..the new Cat Stevens Tea For the Tillerman download that is purported to be a direct analog tape capture.

DSD has been a moniker that has been used to breath life into a the carcass of a intellectually bankrupt market sector. Everyone on the sell side loves it..DAC makers can "upgrade" their units to "DSD Ready" status, same for streamers, DSD upsamping can be sold as the second coming of Jeezus. And it goes on.

Be cynical or be a sucker.
