In Reply to: Have you tried upsampling to DSD 512? posted by Ivan303 on December 23, 2016 at 06:55:23:
It doesn't hurt to try but I have gone up to DSD 128 only.
I do not dislike DSD but there's hardly anything out there that is truly DSD from beginning to end. Of the DSD music that I have heard (files and SACD), my preference is hi-res PCM. 99% of my music is PCM and I'm not inclined to re-purchase it in DSD. And when I upsample / convert what I have to DSD, yes it tends to 'smooth things out' but to my ears it borders on artificial. Just my preference for hi-res PCM I suppose.
