I understand SACD is DSD64 in the computer world. I have found myself in a situation where I am now upsampling everything to DSD64, mostly CD quality or less. As soon as I switched to exact PCM resolution my ears had such severe pain I can't explain what happened.
I know there are ways to help the sound of CD with tubes or similar but DSD in my humble opinion is more pleasant to my ear at least.
