You literally can argue that because this claim is wrong . More samples at a lower bit depth isn't more information and higher sampling frequency past the nyquist frequency isn't actually going to capture more of the 20-20,000hz frequency range anyway. Redbook CD with pcm is already sufficiently high sample rate to reproduce the entire wave form in the range of human hearing (which is beyond what the entire adult population can hear anyway, so 100% of the people buying dacs don't hear to 20khz) the extra sampling frequency of dsd thus isn't capturing more information, its just using higher sample rate as a substitute for the higher bit depth of pcm.
Do quantization errors exist in pcm? Yes. Do quantization errors exist in dsd? Also yes. Is the noise caused by these errors inside the audible frequency range? No. But im sure your cat would prefer you use 196khz pcm instead of CD

The capture of live recordings is limited by the micrphones sure... but losses is lossless in the sense you can fully recreate a sinusoidal wave form in the frequency ranges of human hearing. The math supports this. If you are suggesting pcm is incapable of storing some sort of data that can be captured by dsd then id love to hear what exactly that is. The only real reason to use dsd as a format is to avoid the errors introduced when converting dsd to pcm which isnt a problem if the audio was recorded in pcm to begin with. So its not so much that pure dsd is superior than pure pcm that it is that pure pcm and dsd are theoretically superior than converting between the two.
So sure, if you are trying to listen to the small portion of recordings that is natively dsd then having a dsd dac is the right choice but thats not actually going to sound better than if the same exact session had been recorded straight to pcm and then played back with pcm instead.
And yes, I have a dsd dac

The limit is on putnitive which is in addition to compensatory. This absolutely does not mean you can't be properly compensated for damages.

I didn't reply in defense of that, I replied pointing out you sound like an ass for thinking its unreasonable someone could forget their keys because "how do you not hear them"

When did I ever say that? Oh wait. I DIDN'T. I just responded to your post questioning how this other poster could possibly forget his keys like its some bizare concept.

You really just sound like an ass here. How is someone forgetting their keys some "oh your absent minded moron" moment. Thats just a normal human thing that happens.

Once you've done that you are well and trully past the diminishing return point. You should be able to happily keep that setup without missing out

If its going from dsd to a transducer and producing sound then it has done a digital to analog conversion, that basically just means you have a speaker level dac, which is admittedly quite cool. And its true that dsd is more straight forward but for a delta sigma dac that natively supports dsd the pcm playback is just fine, you aren't going to have audible loss.
