Alrighty then, as I've learned to become a better soul for knowing both of you so much so, I just don't have it in me to argue or dispute things with others as much as I once enjoyed - whom said you can't teach an olde dog new tricks.........., I'm barking and rolling around the floor more each day and loving it.

Later guys.

It certainly is once again as Billfort pointed out - staying in good company with even that HRS platform costing more then it does. And seeming that it offers such a pleasant sound for its retail price is still beyond me. And ya know what Brotha B?, I'm starting to think there might be something behind their phono-stage as well.

Please share more........
 
Using Foobar ATM to have the PCM converted on the fly.
Doesn't seem to require too much CPU power ATM.

The very first impression - the sound seemingly has more air to it!
 
Easy bro..it's still a very early honeymoon stage right?? :D

So far I like the sound. Playing the Beethoven Violin Concerto FLAC files converted to DSD128 on the fly. I feel there's more air to each note and the whole presentation has become smoother. There's something more organic to it. It helps my recently adopted MA speakers can take advantage of Hi-Rez I guess.

I can see what you mean by the similarities to vinyl, man. But I'd like allow me a little more time.
 
But David! You're a Vinyl guy! What on earth is wrong with you! You had not better give your soul over completely to DSD!:no::no::sigh:

I went down this path first, but I'm not totally sucked in....so watch it man...some of us have to stick around to defend the records and record players!
 
Brother hold your breath there I don't feel this DSD thingy kicks my vinyl to thr kerb yet! Will get myself some native DSD files soon and see how it sounds though.

Get a few CD's and rip them DSD 128, then tell me how they sound. But I'm with you....it's not totally like vinyl, but close.

I could do that, but I'd like to tinker with native DSD files first.

As you'd know no vinyl rig is the same with each other, so we will have to identify the attributes that might make DSD close to vinyl. So far it's been the airy sense in the SQ that causes me to think that way. But it's not totally like vinyl to me. More of something in-between digital and vinyl, closer to digital.

But still I'm at my very early stage.

David...I've downloaded DSD 64 and I've Ripped DSD 64. No difference in sound quality. I've ripped DSD128 and sounds greater than both of DSD64. I consider them all In native form.
