Tried DSD?

I've purchased an Analogue Productions RCA Living Stereo Hybrid SACD remaster 'Scheherazade' and it sounds great but I do not have SACD playback, so I'm just listening to the cd layer.

I've downloaded two DSD files from Native DSD and they may be the best sounding music files on my SSD.

Occasionally, I run into recording engineers and hifi manufacturers and  they unanimously view DSD to be nothing more than a shell, unless something was actually recorded in DSD. The problem with recording in the DSD format is that the recording needs to run start to finish without interruption. 

I own a Bryston BDP Pi/ linear power supply to an Ayre QB 9 Twenty DAC/ASR Power Cord  plus Akiko Audio XLR stick via Wireworld Platinum Starlight USB cable and Uptone Audio EtherRegen/LP1. Sounds great!

You even got that wrong, sunshine look again.  

Don't forget Blue Coast Records for DSDs. :)

I thought DSD didn't sound right with my earlier DAC's but still purchased a fair number because they were different and very rich sounding.  I now have a Terminator Plus and use Roon to convert PCM to DSD512 and prefer it.  And my DSD files sound wonderful.  To each their own.

Whoa! you have an Denafrips R2R Multibit dac which is bit perfect converting PCM, yet you still get PCM recordings and then convert them to DSD and play it back through the same dac, and it’s better? Something not right here.
