Hi everyone, a little off topic but if anyone can shed some light would be great. People has been listening to DSD, but I personally never have any. I’ve only been listening to streaming services i.e. Tidal and Apple Music. I’m curious on how it sounds, especially now that DMP-A6 coming. Where can I get DSD music? I don’t mean any illegal way, I can pay for it if necessary. Cheers.
It sounds stunning. I know @Nice Monkey has been a big proponent of MultiChannel music and I've always been on the fence about it, but this player has changed my mind. SACD rips sound incredible. Widely available
There are many SACD's but for limited genres. There is a zillion albums for Classical Music and Jazz (related) albums. For other genres it is more limited and DVD-Audio and BD Pure Audio in LPCM are more common. This seems to be related to how albums are recorded and mastered. With DSD mixing the original sound is not possible so these are mostly direct recordings which with popular studio music albums is not that common. Roughly 1/2 of my SACD's are both 2CH/MCH. DTS-CD exist above all out of Quad LP and Q8 Reel original tape remasters which also often sound amazing. Really anxious to hear these via DMP-A6 with HDMI output to my new Onkyo TX-RZ50 AMP.
I play mostly DSD files (up to 512) and download from two sources : Blue Coast Music which is cheap as they offer a free download for the purchase of two. : NativeDSD is my biggest supplier and if you look hard you can find a free sampler download. Also 20% off all albums until May 17. I also like Sound Liaison who produce mostly DXD (very high FLAC) but some DSD also. If you look hard you will find a free download with different file formats.
