(en) Dominik Blech et Min-Chi Yang, DVD-Audio versus SACD: Perceptual Discrimination of Digital Audio Coding Formats, Audio Engineering Society, (lire en ligne [PDF]), « Convention Paper 6086 », « These listening tests indicate that as a rule, no significant differences could be heard between DSD and high-resolution PCM (24-bit / 176,4 kHz) even with the best equipment, under optimal listening conditions, and with test subjects who had varied listening experience and various ways of focusing on what they hear. Consequently it could be proposed that neither of these systems has a scientific basis for claiming audible superiority over the other. This reality should put a halt to the disputation being carried on by the various PR departments concerned. »

It is therefore necessary to conduct further repetitive evaluation tests with many subjects and various sound stimuli that contain sufficient very high frequency components, in order to examine these issues more strictly. »

Publication de Paul McGowan, ingénieur chez PS Audio : most modern DACS are already converting PCM to DSD internally anyway, even many low cost USB only DACS that handle 192kHz/24 bits are Delta Sigma converters (at their hearts) and thus the architecture used is essentially that of DSD. So one might ask why not start with DSD in the first place? Why convert from PCM to DSD when a pure DSD stream would make more sense?Lire en ligne.

Propos de Mark Waldrep de HD-Audio : Did you know that the DACs in the early SACD player from Sony and Phillips converted the DSD 2.8224 MHz 1-bit signal to a multibit (usually 3-5 bits wide) PCM signal so that the required low-pass filtering could be done in the digital domain? This is according to the Sony/Phillips technical documents. The reason given was because the analog filtering didn’t meet high-end audio performance. So the output of every early Sony/Phillips SACD player went through a PCM stage.Lire en ligne.
