The Doors DSD downloads (Acoustic Sounds)

[AWZ1979]

So I decided to expand my DSD file collection by purchasing/downloading The Doors studio albums from Acoustic Sounds despite all the negative reviews I’ve read about them. While I agree that the sound is a bit thin (lacks bass and I find myself having to turn the volume on my devices way up when listening to them) I also feel that Morrison’s vocals really shine and Robby’s guitar sounds more crisp And clear on these DSD downloads than on any other formats I’ve heard The Doors studio albums on (and I’ve heard them through probably a dozen other formats). Thoughts?

Are you able to compare this download to vinyl?

Yes, I own all of The Doors albums on vinyl. Like with the DSD downloads I find myself turning the volume way up when listening to the vinyl. I do feel that the vinyl packs more of a punch when it comes to bass and dynamic range but vocals sound better on the DSD downloads (Not much better but better) as does Robby’s guitar. I can’t stress enough how great the guitars sound on the DSD downloads. That alone made it worth buying them.
