I must admit that I'm not too sure how DSD compares to the more usual 192/24, 96/24 etc formats. Can anyone position DSD relative to high-res Flac & WAV? I see Acoustic Sounds are now selling high-res digital downloads including DSD format. I'm particularly interested in a high-res version of Shelby Lynne's "Just a little lovin'". I have the CD, tried the LP but the quality was poor so I returned it. In high-res I'm sure this will sound stunning, but I'm not sure whether to go for...
