Too bad not many sites offer DSD, at least from popular labels (they offer the SACD tho but we can't rip these as far as I know)

A thread on computer audiophile forum says it can be extracted easily in minutes using specific oppo and pioneer multi-disc players

It can be done, but it's not very easy, it took me some time to set up the components, and you can do it with "old" dvd/sacd players, you can find them only used.
It's possible to extract the music using a Playstation (old one up to a certain firmware).

But once the setup is completed it takes less than 10 minutes do download an iso file.

Any PS3 that has SACD feature can always do rip DSD. Firmware downgrade is possible .

Also, the improvements when you upgrade the internal wires are real, and I can't speak for others, but just my experiences. It is worth it if you had intention to keep the 1Z for a while.

Modding is the same everywhere. If you spent money to modify something and turn around selling it, you will not get any of those money back, regardless of it being a car, or a women...lol

Yes, I completely agree. Only mod your women if you are planning to keep them for a while.

Yeah, but the return on that investment will still go down, as they age

While the complaints will increase proportionally

... after she sees how much money you spend on audio gear, especially WM1Z dap (to bring it back on track since this is Sony DAP thread)

Not true. I rip SACD to DSD all the time using JRiver..

I would assume that what you rip is the red book layer on the disc not the dsd layer. As far as I know the does not exist a sacd drive for computers

WM1A playing DSD64 balanced with the Sennheiser IE800S:

LOL
with just 3 DSD albums filled the remaining spce occupied by 7 Albums at 88.2KHz flac (their replacement) rest on the sammy 256GB... a sign i need to nuy *that 400GB card*

can verify that the new prostereo H2s connect via BT w/ LDAC and sound damn good

they are a bit heavy (18grams), but i got a decent fit with the spinfits

Is generally better to keep the original files as they are provided f.e a Dsf or a flac 24/88.2 etc and when needed just use a tool like db power amp or XLD lossless for mac to downsample for example to use a DSD album as an mp3 file for the car head-unit.

I find also dumb to keep two versions of the same songs (two libraries) e.g one Losslesa and one MP3, better just a lossless and downconvert with copy to another folder like db power amp does

Also Mediago can downconvert lossless to any lossy or CD flac to if i wanted to cram all songs on my WM1A (I really needn't)

Its really quite amazing, this is just ordinary dsd, imagine the file sizes of 4x,8x dsd; the 2tb card can’t come soon enough.

I’ll be getting a 400 as I’m getting into symphony and some are very long.
