Michael,

Thanks for the response - that was very interesting, as not many people here have EVER used DSD, much less every DSD system. Please tell us more about your work.

My experience with was: sounded great, found out it could only be mixed on a analog desk or esoteric workstations, got bummed, cried in my PCM filtered beer.

With some notable excepetions, most people here consider DSD unpractical as a recording and mixing medium for various reasons. Seeing as though the technology has been around for 10 years and still very few professionals are using it (for recording/mixing), is there any hope for the future of DSD as a popular recording format (not just for fringe wackos like Steve )?

Or will it remain the domain of archivists?

Cause honestly, Pink on DSD is NOT going to sound better than Pink on CD, as it was all recorded and mixed in PCM, and 2" tape is going the way of the Dodo, if it already hasn't.
