Hi, looking to buy the famous Amber Rubarth album. Should I get the 24/192 version or DSD 5.6MHz?

Sessions from the 17th Ward - To DSD or not?
- Thread starter ephrank
- Start date
Anyone listened to both versions?

Hey ephrank,
This is only an educated guess, but knowing a bit about David C. and the equipment listed for the session, I’d say the LPCM version is closest to the master which was probably at 384k. That is, the DSD2 version would have been transcoded from the PCM. So, the 192k PCM is closest to the source and thus, more accurate…for what that’s worth.

I have to agree with the above post. Something converted to DSD is worse than having the original PCM. Just because it says "DSD" doesn't mean it is instantly better
