Comment (by rocket):
sacd is not dvd, it's a different physical format altogether. it can't be
burned, only pressed, and it needs a suitable reader (some blu-ray
players, sacd players). dsd discs are dvds which can be burned and read in
any dvd reader that can recognize the format, including dsd disc players
(teac makes one, vaio computers with a certain chip can play them
natively). dvd-audio is yet Another format, entirely pcm.
dsd and wsd (its open standard counterpart) are formats used in mastering
and archiving recordings, as an alternative to analog 2-inch magnetic
tape. many high resolution portable audio players recognize the format and
function also as DACs to play dsd natively from a computer. it would be
good to support it; mpd has implemented support and is a great place to
look. there are other formats also – so-called dxd or "dsd-wide" that are
two or four bits at the same frequency as dsd. in each case, it's the
bitstream generated between conversion from analog and into pcm – it's
gone through fewer stages of destruction and most closely represents the
recorded audio (including the entire signal chain).
