Nice Ted Talk.

This is the clearest explanation of DSD that I have ever heard.

I like Teds presentation. He explains very well how PCM is different (DAC) and why it may sound different than DSD. I did something like DSD several decades ago for digital voltmeter, which was counting pulses in sampling interval to produce numbers. Clocks and precision of analogue components including op amp are very important. So less components there are is better. If you can avoid PCM part altogether it will increase accuracy of reproduction. But thing is in reality music recording and editing are not done this way.

amazing explanation! Ted, thank you very much!

I'm a proponent of DSD as far as it advances demand for higher-quality recordings and playback systems. But since you can't edit or mix DSD without converting it to PCM, its realistic use is largely limited to single-take stereo pair recordings.

DSD Still sounds better. Not to mention pretty much every single dac chip out there are converting everything to dsd on the inside. Simply by avoiding quantization in real dsd gives you better transparency and less possibilities for errors and aliasing to occur. The newest sabres/AKM/ Cirrius logic convert everything to dsd internally. Ti could be the only ones who don't do this only cause they have not released a new high end dac chip in more than 20 years. If people had any brains everything in studios would be recorded as dsd , recoring in low res pcm is just stupid.

My experience suggests they most definitely are not. If you approach it that way then the differences are irrelevant. They just are not as important as someone with a product or technology to sell you would like you to believe.

Great explanation, thank you very much Ted! That's why many dsd enable DACs sound better in pcm mode. They cut corners in the implementation of the filtering, then put the sticker with the DSD logo, while giving you a half baked version of it. Shame.

What's the story with CDs that are marked DSD on the back but not marked SACD?

Ted explains LSD pretty well!

I have both high end and less costly DSD (SACD) players. I have a few "meh" SACD's that don't sound as good as a well recorded redbook.

I'm no expert (as will soon become apparent, as I only discovered DSD in the last day) but there are certain fundamental points that I don't understand. With analogue I am aware of the advantages probably better than I can explain them, but basically it is a pretty accurate way of capturing things due to the lack of approximations processing entails. It is very directly influenced by the physical source being captured (sound in this case). The argument against digital has long been that if you look at digital representations of a wave, it is comprised of steps that have to be averaged out, therefore it is not a true representation of what went in. However that technology has been being refined so that now those steps are incredibly small and being sampled at a much higher rate. Are we not to a point where the digital representation is more accurate than speakers can actually reproduce? Something that perplexed me even more was reading a review somebody did of a DSD DAC. In this review they talked about converting PCM files so that they may be played back. I thought the point was, the further away from the original source you get, the less real and accurate it is. So if in this scenario the original source was analogue and it has already been converted once to PCM, what is the benefit of converting this to DSD? Surely you are then just reprocessing something that you know to be less accurate than the format you are converting to is capable of. I understand that there are efforts ongoing to have the master tapes from various bands converted directly to DSD. This I can understand, but I don't understand how converting PCM to DSD is beneficial. Maybe I've just misunderstood the concept.

You see, PCM is actually a three-step process (not two, as most videos explain). The first step is sampling, getting a sample of a signal, say every 8 thousandth of a second (sample and hold circuit anyone? Sorry, I digress...) The second step is quantization, which is the "stepping" you are refering to, and approximating the values with discrete numbers. The third step is coding these values to binary. So, in the end you end up with one big code, 0 and 1, which go at 150Kbyte/sec rate for a CD. This is 1.2MBits/sec, so the bits are going with the frequency of 1.2MHz through the electrical cable. So, it's almost up there with the 2.8MHz sampling rate of DSD. I am not sure if I explain it well, because I am not a teacher. One thing for sure though, the reason we send the 1 bit pulses via cable, is becuase the electrical cable has inherent noise. So if the pulse is louder than the noise, we can easily isolate it and pick it up in the back to analog recovery stage. That's why digital audio practically has no losses when transmitted via not too long of an electrical cable, compared with analog audio transmission. The reason the conver PCM do DSD, is as the man in the video explains, is for practical and economic purposes. A CD quality audio is 44.1KHz at 16-bit, and the DSD is 2.8MHz at 1-bit. So, the sample rate is 64x higher, but the resolution is 65,000 times lower. Now when you do 4-bit DSD (as the man explains) instead of 1-bit DSD, you almost get rid of that inherent quantization error of the DSD (tendency towards noise). Anyway, for all practical purposes, these are both 1-bit streams in the end. With very fine resolution. That's why when we record our voice digitaly (without data compression) and then play it back, we hear our voice the same way as we hear ourselves when we were speaking. No coloration, in other words. Analog has a tendency to color sound in a pleasing way. Data compression has a tendency to color sound in a very nasty way. If you use low bit rate MPEG-1 Layer 3 (a.k.a MP3) you will sound as if you had an asthma basically. I personally can't stand analog in the vinyl format, 'cuase I don't like crackle-crackle-cracle. Analog tape is fine with me, because hiss doesn't bother me. I guess it all comes down to when and with what you grew up. I love Compact Cassete and CD. Teenagers today love distorted compressed (dynamically) the hell out of the recordings. So, if you go for what you like, you're likely stay in the niche and be ridiculed by most. Sad thing, you can't change mainstream public. Millions cannot be wrong, therefore Justing Bieber is the best musician in the world, currently, objectively speaking. Subjectively speaking we might have different tastes. But I digress again. Yes, whether it's PCM or DSD, the bit stream is so fine, that if the recording is done right, it will sound good on analog tape, linear PCM, and DSD. Heck, it will even sound good on ATRAC (1/5 Sony data compression) or 320Kbits/sec MP3. But if you go lowere than that, it will start sucking. So music is about the contect as well as the recording medium. So I guess we're back to square one... I told you, I am a bad teacher.

Andrew Piatek "I told you, I am a bad teacher" Well, you took the time to try and I got the gist... I think :) I had just assumed that with converting something that was designed to be played back in PCM, the best you could possibly hope for is something that is as good as just playing it back in PCM. Anything else would surely be artificial enhancement (for example on my sound card there is something called the crystaliser which boosts the dynamic range and does some other trickery to improve playback of low quality files). So are you basically saying it is more about the conversion process? In regards to the analogue vs digital thing. I'm a vocalist and guitarist, so I am familiar with analogue colouration and even distortion and how it can be desirable. Low quality digital or worse... clipping sounds nasty. I've always thought of artifacts heard in low quality digital as sounding like rushing water, maybe it's just me. By your last paragraph I assume you are not queuing up for DSD, or have I got the wrong end of the stick?

@dvamateur

9 жыл бұрын

napalmhardcore Sorry, I made a mistake. DSD has 32.500 times lower resolution than 16bit PCM, not 65,000 times. Now, when it comes to digital audio, you always talk about "recovering" from digital signal to analog on the Digital-to-Analog conversion stage. That involves many things, like analo filtering and such to smooth out the signal. So it really doesn't matter much if your DAC is using PCM, or DSD, the quality of the filters and clock synchronization are probably more important. And lastly, the regular 44.1kHz 16-bit CD format is so good, that with properly recorded and mastered music material, it will sound fantastic, as long as you have decent DAC. And no data compression of course. To me data compressed human voice sounds as if the speaker had a bad case of asthman, and the hi-hats sound like pshswessswwshh thing. It's horrible in other words. I remember when I first time heard MP3 files I was shocked that people don't notice those things. But I guess not everybody is attentive to music or sound the same way. And yeah, I am queueing for the Sony ZX2 Walkman.

Both DSD and PCM are digital formats so as long as you don't lose any data, it's just fine to do the conversion. However, I am puzzled because DSD is a 1-bit format and PCM can be a 16-bit or a 24-bit format. How can you do a proper conversion without losing data? Really puzzling and that's why I stay away from DSD. Additionally, DSD has ultrasonic noise that PCM does not.

Can I sell DSD cables ? 1m only 3'000 bugs

This implementation of DSD reminds me of the spiel of proprietary schemes like MQA (s oil) I could not understand a word of what he said. Everytime someone says something cannot be measured, I am a bit uncomfortable with such assertions. As we increase sampling rate, high sample rate PCM @ high bit depth, will approximate DSD, and any differences will be negligible (if such differences truly exist). I had written the paragraph above - simply out of my own laymans reasoning, and lo and behold, I checked the Wikipedia page for DSD, and it has this paragraph included : "Because of the nature of sigma-delta converters, one cannot make a direct comparison between DSD and PCM. An approximation is possible, though, and would place DSD in some aspects comparable to a PCM format that has a bit depth of 24 bits and a sampling frequency of 88200 Hz.". Then in another youtube video from PS Audio, their Gus Skinner - Audio/Music Engineer/Producer says he would not wish to have more than about 30 multitracks in a DSD Mixing session, as it would end up adding too much noise. I could imagine a similar issue with high sampling rate PCM projects, where there would be a similar accumulation of any noise above the audible range, i.e noise which we humans would not hear, but which would at the very least compromise total noise. But this is always going to be an issue with any multitrack system - multiple microphones, and multiple tracks, will increase the noise, for example if one records an orchestra with a single pair of microphones, or records an orchestra with a final mix of many microphones, the multi-track version will have accumulated noise and less dynamic range, from the total number of summed up noise in each track. Not a new problem and somewhat a common issue, so DSD mixing and PCM Mixing are somewhat having similar issues in that regard. Ultimately these are issues that we will always have and the best solution is not to do all the fancy filtering, but rather to capture as is and play back as is. To improve quality - lets do the obvious 1st, double sampling rate in the Case of DSD such as DSD 128 or in PCM use 24 bit 88 khz sampling as the minimum, and achieve similar results. MOst people do not have the kind of gear and listening environment that would make any appreciable difference in discerning a difference, so IMHO, just stick to what works for most people - PCM , which is so much easier to work with at the mixing and mastering stages. I doubt if DSD will ever become significant, in pop music, therefore DSD will remain the preserver of esoterics, the snobby ones, most of whom are old enough not to be able to hear any difference anyway, cos by the time you have made enough money to by the esoteric playback speakers, amps, listening room, and DSD recordings that only a few people can appreciate, you are most likely old enough to have lost the ability to hear anything above 14Khz anyway - So why all the bother. Shakespear said it most elegantly - DSD is simply much ado about nothing. Higher bit rate and higher bit depth PCM is more than good enough - 24 bit @ 88.2 or higher is more than good enough PCM, and so much easier to mix and master than DSD, needing no specialised gear.

You can own unprotected DSD files and play them in a media player. There are SACD rips available for download, and some vinyl transfers done by people with a DSD ADC. It used to be the case that SACDs couldn't be ripped because of DRM, but that is a property of the disk medium and not a DSD stream. Due to 2 to 4 times larger file sizes of DSD (depending on compression), this format is less likely to be streamed from cloud websites any time soon. Editing or remixing said files is somewhat inconvenient, because you have to convert them to PCM, which is a lossy and computationally intensive process. The DST compression used on some files is also very slow (slower than h.264 and monkey audio to put things into perspective).

The sheer intuition this gentleman possesses when he talks about how PCM uses dynamic element matching with randomised errors to compensate for any error during the translation process sums up his genius. So, even though I get the time-invariant waveform in terms of energy to be perfect by patching up the errors, that doesn't necessarily mean it translates well into the energy associated with frequency bands in the s-domain and therefore, the phase of the signal, which is why PCM sounds artificial and sterile comparing to analog or DSD.

my only problem with DSD is the lack of AD converter avaible at a reasonable price for the common musician users, who created music today, you miss the target, every good artist, now record at home or in live, with there laptop and good 192khz 24 bit PCM like RME or Protools converter, come on, we are not in the 80's era of the master CD, and king studio, now DSD can be avaible on online shop, no need of physical SACD for this.

iheartcomps Schiit does some decent Schiit. But a better DAC that PS Audio stuff? I'm not fan of PS Audio, but looking at recent Stereophile review of the Yghdrasil - is is further away than PS Audio at recreating the original waveform. In fact, one of the worst ones I have seen, visually it looks similar to crossover distortion in a class A/B amplifier. I don't how Schiit has managed to fuck its output up that bad.
