[QUOTE="jvr, post: 655686, member: 15634"] I agree with almost everything that Scubadude heard (and reflected on), incl, to a degree, his perception of DSD. The last-mentioned to me does sound a bit more musical (dare I say more analogue..?) and his comparison between DSD and the red book quality of the 90's is quite apt (although the hi-res quality of DSD sets it apart). Don't write DSD off as yet, there is still a substantial (and ever-increasing?) catalogue (obviously not close to PCM) and more DAC's coming on to the market. Listeners of classical music seem to dig DSD. I also agree with the audible step up to 24/96, but not much beyond that. And yes, the quality of the master is the key factor. An eye opener for me was the 24-bit remasters of The Beatles catalogue. Let us not debate the band or their music, just the sound quality. I have listened to almost every album in almost every format and I must say these 24-bit remasters do sound remarkable. It is definitely a step up from the 16/44,1 remasters, in fact the 24/44,1 remasters are almost on par with the 24/96 quality of the Love DVD-A (in fact I think the DVD-A features a 24/192 stereo track?).
