Dweller,

Correct me if I'm wrong but you can't compare DSD with PCM on 2L release as 2L doesn't use 1-bit recorders (DSD128 or DSD64) so you can't present the full potential and advantages of Direct Stream Digital over Pulse Code Modulation

PS as to blu-spec CD, I personally think that blu-spec SACD would be much better idea
Kennyt,

ok, but I wasn't talking about your playback equipment, but 2L recording equipment - they don't record in DSD128 or DSD64 so we really can't compare what these two formats are capable of, you can check how true SACD - pure DSD recording sounds checking for example some of the Chandos recordings or PentaTone which record in pure DSD, I especially recommend J.S. Bach Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin (Julia Fischer).

PCM can't touch DSD.
