I assume that everyone who has posted in this thread has read or at least scanned the Audiostream piece linked to in the first post. What I found most upsetting about the piece is that Mr. Lavorgna, who appears to be one of the few "good guys" writing for Stereophile, does not compare high resolution PCM (24bit/96 & 192kHz) to DSD. Sure he compares CD resolution (16bit/44.1kHz) to both hi-rez PCM and DSD but that's it.
Now it's time to sit back and watch as even the best PCM based DACs slowly get demonized in the high end press as everyone (meaning the editors and writers) jumps on the DSD bandwagon, just as they jumped on the asynchronous USB over S/PDIF bandwagon. And since there is at present no way to stream DSD, music streaming will also come under attack as being less than true high end. I guess I really shouldn't be all that surprised when clowns behave like clowns. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97545 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
