Tried DSD?

DSD is awesome. Make sure you system is up to it. 

I did two downloads from the Pentatone (Classical) label from a different site.  The downloads did indeed take forever and then weren’t pristine, with a few brief dropouts.  I tried this to compare the same recordings, which I have in SACD.  My Oppo 105 can output the DSD layer of SACD over HDMI to the HDMI of my Bryston DAC3 (DSD 64).  I think the downloads were 128.  I couldn’t sonically distinguish any difference between the two resolutions, and given the hassles of the downloads I’ve just stuck to accessing my DSD from SACD as described above

Earlier this month began using Roon to play stereo DSD .dsf files, both to Chord Qutest connected via USB to Roon Nucleus in main rig and 
elsewhere in house streaming to Bluesound kit.
In my case these have all been rips from my own SACDs.
(I'm ripping these myself using Sonore's free ISO2DSD software with a compatible old Sony Bluray player functioning as the server - can read more about how to do this over at Hifihaven).  With the better recordings, enjoying the increased sense of air, especially in my main rig.  All things being equal, prefer to acquire the SACD and rip it myself.  However, for those SACDs that are either too expensive or otherwise unobtainable, DSD downloads from sites such as Accoustic Sounds might well be a very good option.  You've peaked my interest.

Then you should stay away from DSD and unrelated (to you) DSD threads.

Really!! DSD Police now?

I remember reading a few years ago that high bit rate PCM was superior to DSD (from an objective perspective).

Yes you are correct, when PCM is converted using R2R Multibit, it's bit perfect, all DSD can do with it is give a facsimile of it.

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!
