Frantz-I make up my mind on where different formats stack up relative to each other based on hearing them and not looking at spec sheets and theoretical superiority. The proof is always in the pudding as they say. We don't hear spec sheets and theory, but we do hear how music sounds when we reproduce it over our gear in our rooms. I couldn't possibly explain why I think DSD sounds better than PCM based on specifications or theory. I can only relate what I hear and I'm not the only one who feels the same way. I own way more CDs and high-rez files (PCM) than I do DSD, but I certainly know which one I would prefer to listen to. Specifications and theory don't move me, but listening to music does move me.
I don't dispute your preference mep. I do not believe it's unanimous.
