Tried DSD?

Has anyone tried some of the new DSD downloads off of the AS website yet? What DAC are you using to play these files? How do they sound?

Dsd has nothing special for me, even with good equipment.

Reading and hearing are two different experiences. Dsd has nothing special for me, even with good equipment. Then you should stay away from DSD and unrelated (to you) DSD threads.
