Most all music we listen to is recorded to PCM.

Quote from the DSD guide.com last year.
" Try teaching DSD recording to a PCM engineer... even the best... and you’ll find roadblocks and complaints of how hard it is to record in DSD."
Despite the marketing hype, there are almost no pure DSD recordings available to consumers. This is partially because up until quite recently there was no way to edit, mix, and master DSD files. So most pure DSD recordings that are commercially available are the rare DSD recordings made from a direct-to-analog recording, or those recorded direct to DSD without any post-production. There are some new studio software packages that can edit, mix, and master in DSD, but these are quite rare in the industry, and mostly used by small boutique recording companies. Most DSD recordings are, in fact, edited, mixed, and mastered in 5-bit PCM
Here are some statements from recording engineers.
"Recording in DSD and then converting PCM is only introducing noise into the PCM signal."
" Recording in DSD for a DSD only release, get the best from DSD."
There are almost no pure DSD recordings available to consumers.
" Recording in DSD to later convert to PCM, doesn’t make any sense"
Yes some DS dac lovers here are going to get testy over this post, but there it is.
