How to Play DSD? The solution is to use an external Digital to Analog Converter (DAC). A DAC is able to handle the high sample rates used in the DSD format, can be easily connected to your computer via USB. Besides, amplifiers and receivers capable of playing high resolution audio, including DSD!
Is DSD better than FLAC?
24-bit FLAC sampling: 192 kHz is only about 5 times of CD sampling, but is still good enough to be qualified as a high-end standard. So, it's really hard to tell their difference in quality. Sure, under certain circumstances with high-end audio equipment, DSD overmatches FLAC far and away.
How does DSD work?
How does DSD work? DSD uses a single bit of information, and all this information tells us is whether the current sample of the analogue waveform is higher or lower than in the previous one.
