I totally agreed that DSD is just a container in a specific format, it isn't magic, it wouldn't improve the sound if just convert a format to DSD.

REVIEW: Decware Select Zen CSP2 Tube Headphone Amp
Nope, I think. The E88CC improves the clarity and dynamic if using in Input (the single behind the volume pot). 6N1P sounds slightly musical but with less noise, which are selected by Steve Decware.
