I am currently deciding whether I should consider upgrading my DAC to at least have some DSD compatibility and the more I read, ask, etc, the more confusing it becomes.
Example : 'most DSD is upsampled PCM' and that very little pure DSD recordings exist?
I have a good few SACDs and still use my computer/JRiver/ older PS Audio dac to play my FLAC files. How relevant is getting a DSD DAC today ?
What about software to convert the SACD, another minefield?
Besides FranZar on the forum, whom has helped 'decode' some of mysteries, I found this article a little useful :

Any thoughts, opinions, comments, etc, gladly appreciated.
