In Reply to: That is true for one-bit DSD, but can be overcome... posted by theaudiohiffle on April 6, 2007 at 20:15:03:
First of all "DSD" is a marketing term, and not a technical term. It was defined by the marketing gurus at Sony. And what they defined "DSD" as is one-bit digital audio at a sample rate of 64 Fs.Now you *cannot* do *anything* to this signal, even change the volume, without changing it to more than one bit. Then it is, by definition, no longer "DSD".
The marketing gurus from Sony painted themselves into a corner. They claimed all kinds of sonic miracles from "DSD" precisely *because* it was just one-bit.
But they can't have it both ways! If it is so wonderful because it is one-bit (as those who drink the Kool-Aid insist), then the very act of converting it to multi-bit (ie, PCM) must *by definition* destroy the wonderfulness of "DSD".
On the other hand, if converting "DSD" to PCM somehow does *not* destroy it's alleged sonic wonderfulness, then why bother with "DSD" at all? Why not just use PCM?
