a note on formats
- dsf are files of the dsd format with has 64, 128, 512 or even more times the resolution of a standard audio cd
- wav can have a higher fidelity than flac files because flac supports only integer sample formats and wav supports float sample formats and formats with higher bitrate (for example, the wav version of "猫 シ corp. - palm mall" had better quality than the flac version). perhaps attributable to decoding software and hardware, on my setup, wav playback sounds clearer than flac
- sacds contain data in the dsd format but sacds can only be played on specific hardware devices. listening on other devices is made difficult because of copy protection
