[QUOTE="AlleyCat, post: 940906, member: 2194"] 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 : https://www.hifi-advice.com/blog/audiophile-insights/digital-info/sacd-and-dsd/ Any thoughts, opinions, comments, etc, gladly appreciated.
