In and of itself, DSD is clearly superior to PCM...

DSD is easier to decode, but unless you are recording in DSD and do not convert to PCM to edit, there is little benefit.

PSAudio converts PCM to DSD within the box, HDTracks appears to do the same in software, albeit inside of a necessarily noisy computer?

If ever I decide to get into DSD I likely with either wait until King Wa at Audio-GD tackles the new ESS9028, as he must as he is running out of PCM1704U-Ks, or the new GUSTARD X20U PRO. The only reason I would consider such a thing is if I decided to use software like HDTrancks to convert PCM to DSD. I don't anticipate ever becoming a heavy user of the Hi Rez downloading services.











First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
