DSD, DoP, Spdif......

SJB (allowable 3 letter acronym)
I don't think you should allow TLAs.
I make a point of expanding acronyms back to their original form. Mentioning Syndicat des Constructeurs d'Appareils Radiorécepteurs et Téléviseurs always goes down well in Currys.
WTF! I'm sure RD will come along soon and send us all to PC
I'm intrigued by DSD - many seem to want it, many don't know what it is - all demand Naim supply it.
It may turn out to be Spotify. Something you desperately wanted - which crumbled to dust in your hands as you look for the new horizon.

and what about DXD?
Seriously though, all the "native" DSD downloads I have bought are very impressive (as they should be at the price)

I don't feel there has been a general clamouring for Naim to DSD - other than from a few dedicated DSD fans on this forum and no doubt elsewhere. Clearly DSD has a certain cachet in the market currently - so I would have thought the recent announcement of the N272 supporting DSD64 was probably more a case of being seen to keep up with the competition - i.e. you would be criticised if you have didn't have it - but I suspect most users might get one or two DSD files out of curiosity but other than that leave it alone - unless of course it gets a lot cheaper than it is today.

Agreed Simon. I took advantage of some free sample DSD downloads from Blue Coast Music when I was assessing the DACs and the sound quality was superb but the amount of music available on DSD and the price don't make it a practical consideration for me ATM.

I still wonder what really DSD brings to the party but I think Naim couldn't ignore this audiophile market trend.
I would like to hear from Naim what we can expect from this format....
Being able to rip it from my SACDs (hybrid) without an ancient PS3 would be a good start!
