You missed the DSD hate-fest a couple of weeks ago on the Computer Audio forum here

Just to reiterate my own feeling about DSD (once again - LOL!), I feel that many outstanding recordings have been made via DSD, but, on the whole, I also feel that DSD is completely unnecessary as a digital vehicle for sound, compared to the far more prevalent hi-rez PCM. I also feel that DSD acceptance/enthusiasm was a way for analog listeners (i.e., the ones who used to scream about how their ears used to bleed when they listened to CD's) to "save face" before the digital revolution had completely passed them by. Yeah, I'm cynical about it, but I don't deny that Jared (and other DSD partisans) make some awfully fine recordings in DSD.
