How important is the DSD rate?

February 13, 2018
Mendelsohn session AD test

High res download shop Native DSD receives many questions about the oversample rate of DSD: 64fs, 128fs, 256 fs or even higher. Bigger numbers always seem better, but Native DSD claims that in the end the most important thing is not the oversampling rate but the quality of the recording converter in the audio band. To offer their customers an opportunity to listen to all these differences themselves, they made parallel recordings with the Grimm Audio AD1 and a competitor and also offer various oversampling rates of these files, made in postproduction. A very interesting listen.

Among all the truly excellent SACDs from Channel Classics, the very best sound quality wise is the Mahler 4th recorded with the Grimm in my opinion.
