?  DSD is hardly a flavor of the month.  Been around for years, and a recording format chosen by some very accomplished folks in the industry.  Just sayin'. 

 

You can sum up DSD in two words. Nobody cares.  That being said I applaud them for sticking to their guns. After all lots of us still get good results with a Pacific Microsonics Model One.

 

Chris did a nice job here.

Don't be a jerk.

 

Chris on March 4th I made a 25 minute presentation to a Southern California marketing company about high resolution audio. Part of the presentation was the numbers aren't there for DSD.

None of that matters with respect to your comment. Ask Chad (Acoustic Sounds) about how many of his customers want DSD. In the grand scheme of life it’s a small niche, but then again so is golf, given that a tiny percentage of Earth’s 7.7 billion people care about it. 

 

Just the golf equipment market is over $8 billion annually worldwide.

Nice comment...thanks for quoting me. 

 

I use DSD sometimes as a sound effect for some harmonicas and a few resonator banjos. But it is very hard to work with in a studio.
