RE: Moreover. . .

I've been copying vinyl to 5.6-MHz DSD and it seems to have the sweetest highs I've ever heard from digital. I used to think my 24/96 PCM copies of vinyl were perfect, but I'm beginning to think DSD is even more perfect. I really love DSD and I've decided to make all future copies of vinyl records on 5.6-MHz DSD using my TASCAM DA-3000 DSD recorder.

With regard to editing, all I can do is crop my DSD recordings and divide each record side into individual cuts using TASCAM's Hi-Res Editor software. It also places a very short fade at the beginning and end of each cut. I sometimes wish I could insert longer fades in addition to performing amplitude normalization, but I don't want to transfer from DSD into PCM. Therefore, I guess I can live with minimal editing.

Best regards,
John Elison
