I read your review/article when it first came out but being almost a year ago, I forgot about it. I hadn't seen the comments before so that was interesting.
In your opinion does DSD64 impose any sonic limitation of significance?
Thanks Kal!

Limitation compared to what? Is the question a general one or is it specifically about the D-Bob?
Yes, generally speaking. Either now or possibly in the future? I don't know enough about the technicalities of DSD to even know if this question made sense. Maybe that's why you replied "...compared to what?'.

I have many DSD256 recordings and 24/352.8 PCM recordings. Rarely have I been able to compare them side-by-side with the same original recording in DSD64 and, when I have, the results are ambiguous. Sometimes, I think the higher bit-rate recordings are a bit better but mostly there is no perceived difference.
Now, I tend not to obsess about that (regardless of the outcome) because I find that the application of DSP/REQ and/or the availability of true multichannel provide obvious and significant audible improvements and, therefore, more worthy of attention than ever increased bitrates.
