RE: DSD vs. 24x192 pcm

I think you're right that DSD sounds better than PCM. I now copy all vinyl to DSD128 with my TASCAM DA-3000. And, I also have my FiiO set to resample all PCM to DSD64 before converting to analog. A good friend of mine resamples all his CD rips to DSD128 and they sound noticeably better than what my FiiO does. They don't sound as good as if they were originally recorded in DSD128, but they sound better than resampling to DSD64 as my FiiO player does.

My favorite is DSD256, though. I have 48 albums purchased online from websites like Native DSD and these albums sound awesome to me.

Incidentally, I just bought a new FiiO M11 Plus with ESS DACs about a month ago and I find myself listening to it more often than I listen to my FiiO M15. I was worried about the ESS DACs not sounding as good as AKM DACs, but I really like the sound of my new FiiO M11 Plus. For its price of $700 on Amazon, it's hard to beat. It comes with a leather case and a screen protector factory installed.

Happy listening!
