DSD vs PCM .. Truth or Myth


Just been reading this article which raises a lot of points and questions.

I found it interesting at least.

Just think if SACD had been dsd128 and 5 bit? Might have been a lot more successful?

@mzkmxcv. What absolute rubbish.

Recording direct to DSD is common and widespread and many find it the preferred method to get as close as possible to the original event. 

See for example Blue Coast https://bluecoastrecords.com/about/about-ese-extended-sound-environment

Lots of valuable information on the topic of DSD editing here

Interestingly it seems their own view is similar to my own experience in that I prefer listening to PCM recordings upsampled to DSD/128 via my dCS Vivaldi stack over the native, or upsampled, PCM.
