RE: Upsampling everything to DSD SACD

Posted by lokie on December 18, 2020 at 07:01:22:

"it took the digital edge off of Redbook digital."

That doesn't ring true with my experience. I have no edge with Redbook but it took me a journey to get there... which means Audio Note nos dacs. And then I moved on to similar technology and chip but a slightly different flavor. My digital system is currently better than my analog rig at three times the price.

My point is... if you concentrate all your gear to optimize redbook, you will be rewarded far beyond the miles of extra upsampleing coding can provide, although it may be cheaper in the short run. But I buy Redbook CD's all day long for a few bucks a piece, so the payback is quick and you can listen to ALL kinds of music, not just "audiophile" music. .
