DSD vs PCM .. Truth or Myth

@elizabeth

DSD implementation in my current player is better than the implementation of decoding PCM in the machine I had owned.

What does that mean? How was PCM poorly decoded/played in your system? Did you have aliasing/images?

Plus yesterday’s result may no longer apply tomorrow, no problem. in the real world, they both have average, good, and spectacular implementations..

Not when it’s unrefutable that DSD provides no benefit over PCM from a technical standpoint (I sound like someone with a bone to pick, but it is a fact). DSD is converted PCM anyway

@Elizabeth

PCM has no issues with high frequencies (unless your DAC has a complete garbage filter). So, DSD is not more accurate, it does have more high frequency noise, you may like it better, that’s not my stance. 
 
EDIT: Not saying it’s a crap format, it’s just that PCM has no shortcomings.

DSD (SACD) is a 5.0 5xfull freq format. PCM is a stereo format. L-C-R-RH-RR would be much better sound image than 2 channel.

You can have 5ch LPCM. Some anime Blu-rays use it instead of paying the liscensing fees for Dolby/DTS, same with some video games.
