Tried DSD?


Has anyone tried some of the new DSD downloads off of the AS website yet? What DAC are you using to play these files? How do they sound?

I remember reading a few years ago that high bit rate PCM was superior to DSD (from an objective perspective).
Reading and hearing are two different experiences.

Dsd has nothing special for me, even with good equipment.
Then you should stay away from DSD and unrelated (to you) DSD threads.
Georgie Boy,Thanks for the compliment :-)I am trying to understand your problem - is it English OR your comprehension. Read chatta's post again:

He is trying to reply to the OP based on what he read. Really? Hmmm...very helpful. Sure you should also do the same then for Class D amplifiers. Read up!

He already says that DSD did not do a thing for him. So wouldn't it be good for him to not waste money on buying more SACD/DSD stuff? Or do you still want him to buy more of that stuff and come here and complain.
And then I have the right to express and back him up with this as well.
Absolutely agreed. But if your back him based on his reading then I really doubt your credibility.
Really!! DSD Police now?
If it ain't Georgie boy @georgehifi. You need to get a life man....doing something creative instead of replying to 7 year old threads.
Police eh? I will tell you what policing is - it is jumping on each and every "Class D amplifier" thread and crying out on top of your lungs and saying that they are bad. Most regulars here know that you almost certainly derail those threads. You don't have a positive contributions on those threads and simply copy-pasting what Nelson Pass said. You shoot by placing a gun on someone else's shoulder. Constantly nagging about how bad Class D is. And then questioning my response and calling it "DSD Police".

The poster before me indicate that DSD did nothing special for him. I simply suggested that he stay away from that. I never said negative about PCM or R2R, where as your response talks negative about DSD. Sometimes in life, try to be positive OR don't respond. If people are happy about DSD - so be it.

Bloke, looks like you have tons of time on your hand to kill. Do something creative. Good luck with your life!
You have to when something is not correct, otherwise you’ll have a bunch of Geoff Kiat’s everywhere spruiking BS all over the place
And you called me out as policing :-) Your post is exactly that.

Georgie Boy, what makes you think that you are the audio authority and what you here is the right thing and what other hear is wrong? Let me explain: people have choices. Some like chocolate ice-cream while some like vanilla. It's their choice. You are NO ONE to refute their choice.Similarly,  people like DSD while some like PCM. My ears prefer DSD over PCM. What's the BS in that?Bloke, again, get real and do something creative rather than knocking my choice.

@georgehifi,Wow...what a come back! Look like you do believe that "reading" gives you all the experience you need - since you did not reply me on that.

I see your argument on the "High end Class D amps?" thread. Ralph may be a 50s guy. But he has all the experience building great amps. While you have none. Try to gain it by "reading" about Class D :-)))))
