Tried DSD?

Has anyone tried some of the new DSD downloads off of the AS website yet? What DAC are you using to play these files? How do they sound?

The problem I had was it took about 2 hours to download perhaps they had some technical issues. My dac is a Meitner MA 1, I hope they iron out their problems as I used their site many times and was always happy with them. Good Luck

I may download a couple of thier DSD albums to carry on my flash drive to the show.
