Where do you purchase DSD256 content or 50.9GB downloads, if I may ask? NativeDSD? HDTT?
Follow Ups:
1. DSD256 primarily from NativeDSD. Some from personal contacts.
2. The big download was from AcousticSounds.
Thanks! I was quite surprised when I saw that you have 3399 DSD albums and another 1000 unripped SACDs. The entire DSD catalog at NativeDSD is 1187, at AcousticSounds 830, at HDTracks 177, and at HDTT 423. So even assuming no duplicates, we're still only up to 2617.
All the SACDs available at AcousticSounds seem to number ~1500 max and all of the SACDs & Hybrid SACDs at Amazon total 13,461 but probably include a large proportion duplicates. You have probably at least a third or more of the entire worldwide supply of DSD content.
How do you store the files, if I may ask? NAS with a few 8-10TB drives and then some backup system?
A lot of SACDs (and DVD-A) have been discontinued and do not appear on those sites. Rips of those account for a substantial number in my collection.
I have 2 NAS RAID drives, each with a 40TB raw capacity. I keep/use one in my apartment and one in my house. In addition, I have a non-RAID backup on HDDs.
Thanks again. Even so, the Amazon 13,761 figure included > 3,000 used SACDs.Based on the "Associated Equipment" part of your Stereophile reviews, I take that NAS to be QNAP TS-569L.

I have 2 QNAP TS-569Ls at the house and a new QNAP TS-831x in the apartment.
