A concern is often expressed about the effect of Direct Stream Digital (DSD) high frequency (HF) quantization noise on downstream electronics, especially power amplifiers, and the tweeters of loudspeakers. For a quarter of century since the inception of SA-CD, the first carrier of DSD, I have...

Hi, I feel like I don't quite get noise in analog-to-digital 1) why can't we record music at for example 17 bits, the quantized noise is last bit, right? And then we cut the last bit so no quantized noise??? 2) why can't we oversample > noise shape > downsample to get rid of noise The noise is...

Multiple threads here deal with DSD, but I'm yet to see a bit more depth concentrated in one place. DSD For Beginners is boring and tells very little. Based on listening to the sound quality of DSD native from Cirrus Logic chips like that in Sonata HD Pro I find: • S/N ratio of DSD at high...
