Yeah theoretically you may loose something when changin modalation format in practice not soo i think ?
I'm actually going to try one of their recordings ,just for kicks . The recording quality I just bluntly assumes will be retained in whatever format :) I'm a firm believer in good recording quality anyway , lets see if there is a recording that makes musical sense there..... Another issue with DSD is that it assumes and old fashioned hifi where you as quickly as possible convert to analog ( the wrong aproach imo ) . No dsp or eq or room correction or loud speaker crossovers are done in native DSD . So post processing in you home hifi is going to be PCM anyway . Same for studio equipment and stuff DSD is just odd ? I do think there are equipment that favors one format over another . The practical aproach would be to use whats works best in that situation . I think archimago has some measurments with weird results for different formats ? in some of his dacs ? The overwheling issue is the recording itself , format DSD vs PCM vs CD is almost completely irrelevant in the wider scheme of things I think archimago has some measurments with weird results for different formats ? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
