> Does anyone happen to know what DSD technology is? Myles, It is 1-bit coding at a high speed. Theoretically it produces lower artifacts but these are already very low, especially if you use 24 bits at higher bit rates. I suspect a commercial motive or hype. In practice DSD is very similar to high speed pulse width modulation (PWM). I found a paper criticising 1-bit coding saying: "In recent years, we have seen the consumer audio industry perform a remarkable feat of salesmanship by proclaiming that 1-bit converters are better than multi-bit converters," http://sjeng.org/ftp/SACD.pdf Read it only if you have to. :-) David David Brinicombe North Devon, UK Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum - Ambrose Bierce |
