You get to imagine living and/or working in an environment where you can play any music you like in any audio format from any device you might have (including your Smart TV or Apple TV or CD/DVD player) through your stereo setup or headphones with the best sound you may have ever heard from the exact same music your ears may already know very well. Jump To The Point – What Do I Get Reading This?

IFi Audio Pro iDSD DAC/streaming/preamp and xDSD mobile DAC/headphone amp None of this was imaginable in 2009, or 2013, or 2016, let alone anytime before that. These same standalone receiving DAC/DLNA/AirPlay/Google Cast units can also decode MQA from a connected computer (via WiFi or USB), or internet streaming hi-res TIDAL masters.
On the high end of gear in these categories, and as described in this post regarding iFi Audio's Pro iDSD product released in 2018, there are products now available that can be connected to home studio setups delivering bit-perfect transmissions of encoded MQA and 1-bit DSD over WiFi as well as DSD1024 resampling of any streaming source such as Spotify (from 160k up to 320k through the Internet to your phone). Who would have guessed? No one did, not too long ago. Hi-res from a smartphone streaming from the internet.

Since 2016 the introduction of MQA as both remasters for downloads and low bit rate, high resolution (unfolded up to 24/384 but delivered at about 24/48k or far less in my experience (FLAC ~700-1000kbps)), streaming from TIDAL and other services further puts the inexpensive reality of the highest quality studio masters in the accessible hands and ears of music lovers from something as simple to use as an iPhone or Android smartphone, tablet, or from laptop or desktop. Keep in mind around then that Netflix streaming was still new, 5mbps Internet download speed was a marvel to have, and DSD playing on any of the 30+ million Sony Playstation3 in homes then was astonishing.įollowing those years of early SACD Discs (.ISO image downloads to burn to high capacity DVD-Rs) 20 were the beginning of Sony's official High Resolution Audio (HRA) program removing DRM from DSD recordings and inciting many companies to create low cost DSD USB DACs and headphone amplifiers that soon flooded the market and began encouraging many to listen to excellent recordings in both DSD and PCM (24/96 and above, and DXD).
After the SACD early years (~2000 – 2005) excitement the next step was to launch Sony DSD Disc Format downloads in 2009 with my release of The Window in stereo, followed by Crossing, and then both as multichannel 5.1 studio DSD64 masters. The last 2 years of computer audio (2017 – 2019) for listeners and musicians have been unlike anything I have seen or heard since the earliest exciting and revolutionary days of the introduction of DSD as SACDs into the market which I participated with as an album (SACD The Window released in 2003).
