Would converting DSD files to High Resolution PCM, and using a high end PCM Dac not be as good as DSD? If done properly of course...
I only ask this because I have tried a couple DSD Dac's, and while they do DSD great, playing PCM was less than satisfying with them at best... In fact, high resolution PCM through my front end was just as good as the DSD stuff I tried, if not better.
The only benefit, IMO, in going with the DSD Dac's I tried, was that for allot less money, I could get close to my front end performance, playing DSD only through them, of course... Then you are limited on what music you can buy...
I'd like to try a DAC that does both well, and while there are some I have not tried that do both, I tend to believe the outcome will be similar...?? Or, try converting DSD files to high resolution PCM and see what happens, making a DSD Dac pointless?? Anybody tried this yet?
