16.44.1 PCM vs Native DSD 256 (Quad DSD)

Here we just take a little sample song and compare the difference. 16/44.1 from Tidal sounds excellent. Until we listen to a native Quad DSD recording. Both were originally analog master tape. These are the digital counterparts. Im convinced that Quad DSD is my favorite format AS LONG AS its a native recording and NOT a conversion from a different digital format. 2:20 PCM 16/44 4:03 DSD 256 Mikeys Home Server Recipe.
