Re: MD: Recording from SACD
If you want to listen to a DSD-44.1KHz PCM conversion, you can buy one of the last Ultradisc IIs by MoFi, the ones that featured GAIN2. They did record DSD from the original master tape, and then converted it to 44.1KHz. I own Tom Petty's "Full Moon Fever". It sounds at least as good as earlier UltraDiscs.
