Re: Sony head units
To be honest they're still a rare breed in the Philippines. The launch of their RSX-GS9 is the bomb though; Juno's been raving about it non-stop. As for me, I'm not so keen to join the DSD bandwagon with a 10 minute track occupying 800MB of space. Is there a difference though? Yes there is. I tried a A/B comparison between a 16bit 44khz studio WAV file versus the DSD equivalent in a fully treated room with reference B&Ws floorstanders playing and the DSD sounded more noticeably lifelike. I'm still not willing to pony up the space difference though.

As an idea, I'm still on the 16bit/44khz 320kbps MP3/AAC file camp for 80% of my music needs.; the 20% are 16bit ALAC/FLAC files.

Lemme guess, kay Tita Elco yan noh? I'm down with DSD. File size are still smaller than DXD.
