Finally, a not too unreasonable format at NativeDSD

24/96, about time. Sadly, no 16/44.

 

 

Strangely, some albums only in m-ch:

Somebody has decided that they want to sell more downloads.

It's just business.

I agree Kal. For me, this is long overdue. I have purchased quite a few of their DSD downloads and convert them to 24/176.4 for playback. This now saves me the trouble.

That's certainly part of the equation.  Selling files converted to FLAC reduces support questions on how to do DSD to FLAC conversions.

 

As to sales, time will tell.  NativeDSD has recently added Analog Tapes, 32 bit DXD, 384k PCM, 24/96 FLAC and 24/192 FLAC to their DSD 512/256/128/64 music downloads and Audio Equipment "Gear Store".

 

I did find the recent comment from Blue Coast Music that their biggest selling format was DSD 256, even though they carry FLAC and WAV PCM files interesting.  We'll see if NativeDSD has a similar result after the new format additions.

Choice is good!
