Headphoneus Supremus
DSD sounds great on the Pono. Quality varies based on the master, but most of the ones I have sound very good indeed. Without getting into the whole mp3 is as good as anything else you listen to (please, let's not), I like DSD. However, be aware that the man whose name is on the Pono OS, Mr Ayre, has stated that he thinks DSD is not the way to go because of the modern way of recording (I'm paraphrasing but the gist was that modern recording techniques don't favor DSD) and that 24/x is really better. Him I believe. So I'm happy using 24/192 or 24/176 or 24/x and I'm not hearing much/any of a difference. But for those DSDs I have I really like quite a few of them. Both Aja and Sketches of Spain sound really good to me (and I also have them also in 16/44)
