Disharmony with DSD

摘要

Unlike denizens of the AV industry where the logos of affiliated technologies stretch endlessly around the front and back of its AV receivers, pure hi-fi brands have worried less about the 'tick list' of essential and unessential features. I remember a time when manufacturers of surround amps struggled to make headway unless their new multichannel behemoth boasted a THX logo - even if precious few cinema fans even had full-blown THX systems. But with DSD, and DSD-compatible USB DACs in particular, I'm beginning to wonder if we're becoming a little too obsessed with a new numbers game.
