HD25-1ii - highly recommended superaural

[Mellowship]

Nice review. I only want to point out one thing: when you said "Files used included my one FLAC SACD", what did you mean? That you managed to rip the DSD SACD content into FLAC files? I don't think that is possible. Well, what you really have is the PCM stereo tracks of the SACD (it's a hybrid format, so that it can be played through a redbook CD player) converted form wav to FLAC. It's like converting a normal CD to FLAC. The DSD on SACD can only be played with SACD players and listened through its analogical outputs. (or if you have an external DAC that can convert DSD into analogic).
