Let's stop beating arround the bush. *IF* Sony released a DSD recorer
what good is it to the general population?


Since Sony has a very significant business serving audio professionals, this
is an irrelevant question.

Sony won't allow SACDs to be burnt/played on PCs because they *will* get
copied.


What Sony didn't get is that these days many if not most profesionals are
looking for a medium that can be burnt on a PC.

So once you have your DSD recording what do you do with it besides burn
it to LPCM so it can be played on and distributed to consumer gear and
PCs?


Presumably, a DSD recording can be processed on DSD production gear, and
professionally duplicated.

AFAIK any DSD recording can only be played back on a similar machine and
not a SACD player. Correct?


See the previous paragraph.
