In Reply to: Why do you think he calls himself CONfused? posted by Robert H. on October 5, 2003 at 12:38:41:
Robert H. nailed it. DSD shows great potential as a CD mastering medium. I could not figure out why I sometimes preferred the DSD mastered Redbook layer to the SACD layer of the same disc. This does not seem to make sense. SACD has better organic flow and better harmonic interludes, but there is something "thick" about the sound, (not in the good high resolution sense), that can bother my ears and make them ring. I do not have especially good high frequency hearing either. I have trouble listening to a SACD piece all the way through, but I can forget the equipment and listen to the music better with a DSD mastered redbook cut.
