Preservation

I like and use both formats! Which sounds better? This has been a hotly debated topic since the arrival of consumer digital (the CD) in 1982. But the buying public has voted! The CD player became the most popular home entertainment device next to the television! Followed and surpassed years later by the DVD player!

I guess the premise is beyond "the real genius"
He is closed to debate because he made up his closed mind decades ago.I will say that LPCM is a recording process, inferior to some but fine when done right (not often do to crappy ADC, as the link states.) CD is a delivery format. The genius drops the ball on "is."
Yada yada.
Word salad is overused tripe too unless directed inwardly.
Juvenile denunciation does not abide.

About the above mentioned DSD format. In most cases, DSD is simply a shell. True DSD is recorded as DSD but this is rare, given the recording needs to be done in one complete take.

Rare except for ALL of Blue Coast, Fone AND Octave releases. You might have heard of Native DSD.With the Sonoma sys only necessary edits are converted and spliced. You are free to point them out. They are inaudible to most of us humans.
I can easily convert .mp3 to .DSF. Anyone with a critical ear can hear that.
Besides I am a fan of direct to disk vinyl. One take is good. Like early Beatles or Captain Beef heart.

I must have really hit a nerve fuzztone but anything not recorded in DSD is converted over to that format.
