PS Audio unveils their PS Audio Directstream DAC
Thanks Aurelius... What I'm hoping to find out here, is whether DSD is really a better format than hi-res PCM, and if so, why. Does anyone have any experience converting hi-res PCM to DSD... And does DSD truly sound superior...?? 
PS Audio unveils their PS Audio Directstream DAC
I am a fan of PS Audio and their products, and if this new DSD DAC pans out, I'll probably buy one - or at least the upgrade (I currently own a PWD MKII). What I really want however, is to better understand what the purported benefits of DSD are o...

Is soundstage just a distortion?
Hum... I agree that a well-executed amplifier and crossover is beneficial to the sound-stage, but I believe those benefits are more apparent in the actual staging of the instruments and players within the sound-stage. The room itself, and the way ... 
Oppo 105 or PS Audio PWD Mk2
Are you citing the PWDII as a reference to determine which disc player to purchase? I assume you already know that the PWDII is a DAC. Again, you may know this, but the PWDII with the Bridge, eliminates the need altogether for a disc player. Playi...
