RE: What do you mean by DSD discs?

As noted in this thread, http://www.ps3sacd.com/dsddiscguide.html will shed some light on how to make these discs.

Basically, a 'DSD-Disc' is a plain-vanilla DVD-recordable disc that has DSD files written to it. These files have a 'DSF' extension ("DSD Streaming Format") that is a DSDIFF file re-encoded in a more RIFF-WAV type of structure, suitable for playback inside a PC, etc. There is also an ID3v2 tag written at the end of each file for meta-data purposes.

According to the specification, two to six channel formats are supported as well as both 64fs (2.8224 MS/s) and 128fs (5.6448 MS/s)sampling rates.

There is no DST ("Direct Stream Transfer") compression applied, so you are limited to about 1GB/track/hour.

Korg's MR-1000 records in this format and it's 'AudioGate' software will convert DSDIFF to DSF. The Tascam currently has no such function.
