Re: DSD vs PCM as compared to what?
But truth be told, while the Tandberg was a good prosumer deck, it doesn't hold a candle to the pro Studers or Ampexes. Like most prosumer machines, the electronics leave a lot to be desired. And if not properly aligned, the bass will certainly suffer.
Did you record at 71/2 or 15 ips on the Tandberg?Myles B. Astor, Senior Editor, PF, www.positive-feedback.com

Re: DSD vs PCM as compared to what?
I also had a modified Revox Pr-99, and since I did primarily live location recording, hauling around a Studer A-80 would have been very impractical.
I had to use 7.5 ips since it was a concert and I couldn't very well change reels in the middle of a piece. Alignment was not a problem, as I checked it regularly.B&W803D3; McIntosh MA9000 integrated amp; Esoteric K-03 SACD/CD player; VPI Prime Signature/Ortofon Cadenza Bronze; Sennheiser HD800S and AudezeLCD-XC headphones

Re: DSD vs PCM as compared to what?
Mike,
I know this comment may create a fire storm, but if we are going to get into a hair splitting discussion regarding formats I wonder if the PCM should be played on an MSB, Trinity or Berkeley Reference, etc. and the DSD on a PD, EMM, or Lampizator etc. to provide a more accurate result.
The S1 is phenomenal at it's price, but I think any definitive conclusions about format would be best measured in systems optimized toward the respective format's playback. It is extremely difficult IMO for a single DAC design to reach the true potential of both formats equally well......but of course I could be completely wrong.

Re: DSD vs PCM as compared to what?
Why should your comment "create a fire storm?" It makes perfect sense to me. The only question I have is who owns a DAC optimized for PCM and another DAC optimized for DSD and can give us their unbiased preference (is that an oxymoron?)?
Oh, and if something is "phenomenal at it's price," is it really phenomenal? Isn't that sort of like telling two-ton Tessie that for a fat girl she doesn't sweat much? Or as Frank would say, "Is that a real poncho or a Sears poncho?"Micro Seiki SX-8000 air bearing table, SME 312s arm, SME 3012R arn, Dynavector XV-1s cartridge, Lyra Etna SL cartridge, ARC Ref 3 phono stage, Otari MX-55 2 track R2R, Ampex 350 tape repros, Roon Nucleus Plus music server, HiFi Rose 150B DAC, ARC Ref 6, ARC Ref 75 with KT-150s, Parasound JC5 amp , JBL 4345 speakers, Viero Equilibro Level 3 speaker cables, and Definitive Technology Ref subs.

Re: DSD vs PCM as compared to what?
That being said, I doubt things would change. I've yet to hear a PCM only DAC that can compete with the best of the best PCM/DSD DAC's. But I have not heard the new Berkley.
If someone has a PCM only and a DSD only DAC AND R2R and same sources of each, they can refute my comparison.
Until then....

Re: DSD vs PCM as compared to what?
Focussing on DAC's that can play only one format was not my point. Sorry if I was vague.
Just about every respectable DAC these days plays both, but that doesn't mean they play both formats at their best. (Conversions make up the difference.) Some are optimized for PCM first and DSD second, some are DSD first and PCM second, and some have two DAC's in one.

Re: DSD vs PCM as compared to what?
Mike, just saying I would love to have your ears compare the MSB and Lampizator to tapes. IMO that would go a long way to putting the argument to bed. I still have my view (which is that at this level the formats are a push and I lean toward availability of titles), but I haven't heard the Lampizator. We gotta get you a couple of loaners.

Re: DSD vs PCM as compared to what?
PCM isn't going to sound like tape. It's going to sound like PCM. If you love the sound of digital and hate analog, I'm sure PCM is the preferred format for those people (even if much of their PCM was sourced from analog). If you love the sound of analog recordings, the closest digital format to approaching the sound of analog is DSD that I'm aware of.

Re: DSD vs PCM as compared to what?
The answer is not necessarily comparing them but making A/D copies of the tape in both digital formats and then comparing them. I'm doing that with 4XDSD. So has David Robinson at PFO and people like Bruce Brown of Puget Sound Studios and Dave Wilson. It's no accident that Dave chose to remaster his tapes and play them back at shows using DSD. I could possibly also make 24/192 copies too like did for Jeff Joseph too.

Re: DSD vs PCM as compared to what?
I was about to post something like this, but more along the lines of which sounds more like live music? None of our current storage mechanisms/media manage this without some very noticeable problems. I do think that better DSD or PCM is more likely to manage this than better analog, though.

Re: DSD vs PCM as compared to what?
Myles, have you done a direct comparison of A/D copies of tape in both formats and compared them directly using DAC's optimized around playback of the respective format? Also, are you aware of the DAC's used by David, Bruce or Dave in their work. I just find it hard to believe that playback of PCM converted directly from tape on a full MSB Diamond (with Galaxy Clock) or a Trintiy DAC will not sound on par with 4XDSD.
Their is no question more poor PCM execution is spread throughout the market place than poor DSD because so much work has been done in PCM at low price points and this has reduced the quality many expect from PCM. The bad image suffered by PCM from the dark years of digital still has scared many in the business.
I am very familiar with Bruce and Dave's famous decisions to use DSD. I personally feel with the best DAC's both formats are marginally different but one is not better than the other; but I have not done this type of comparison personally and would love to be enlightened.

Re: DSD vs PCM as compared to what?
I want DSD to win.
Problem is pop (All Music) is PCM, as a recording and delivery format. Which isn't terrible.
The winner format is always, analog. So PCM vs DSD, as a delivery format, should be as compared to Analog or the live event. Pehaps, what we need is the recording industry to adopt DSD 5.6+ as the new master file or continue to move forward to the best analog recording and mastering practices? (To some extent DXD is a PCM solution)
