Dagogo just reviewed the Teac PD-501. The unit plays regular CD's + DSD downloads without the need for a computer when playing the discs. The review was very positive, especially when the unit was playing DSD. If I did do digital, this would be an interesting option.
Is DSD download already an extinct format?
I recently purchased a Benchmark DAC 2 which supports DSD decoding following an article from Robert Hartley indicating that Sony would release all of its music catalog in DSD download format. As of today, there are only 358 DSD downloads available from Acoustic Sounds. On average the DSD downloads is music that is 30-45 years old...you know the same stuff you already own in CD, DVD-audio, SACD. Just getting tired of purchasing Getz/Gilberto in all formats.
Record companies, please give us the new music in Hi-rez format rigth off the bat and stop giving us the better resolution years later!
