Recording DSD is easy enough - problem is processing it. Any digital processing of DSD is (1) technically difficult, and (2) when possible, the theoretical "simplicity" of DSD is completely lost. These considerations rule out DSD, now and forever, for most recordings (exceptions are analog recordings and purist recordings of the sort made by Telarc).For amateur recordings, DSD is especially silly, since there is no way to write a SACD onto a DVD-R (by design - it's a key part of the copy protection story).
