I am using one of those sound-reality VAIOs that offer the playback of DSD-files thru the so-calles "Sonic Mastering Studio" (playback "only" also works with the normal windows media player btw on those systems).
Sonic Mastering Studio imports .dsf & .dff files (2.8 Mhz). Even though it comes with a couple of nice plugins (Sony Oxford + Waves stuff), fx processing is only available in PCM mode :( .
The interesting point: You can export DSD to WAV with Sony's Super Bit Mapping technology, unfortunately I didn't have the time yet to compare it to Korg's solution.
Nevertheless, I wanted to add that I was recording a wonderful modern music concerto last weekend with the 302/MR-1000 combo. Client's now planning to release the live recording on SACD after hearing the difference between DSD (2.8 Mhz) and CD-quality...that says it all. Btw no problems / errors at all with the Korg, it performed flawlessly on this side of the atlantic.
