NativeDSD Music started this site to offer listeners a focussed resource with devices that can play the DSD files that are sold through the nativedsd.com platform of labels. Below is more information about the music store and about us!
If you are tired of listening to compressed audio and your desire is to instead play uncompressed, original recording quality sound, this is your one stop shop. You will find detail in the music you were never able to hear before.

Real DSD 64fs, DSD 128 & DSD 256 & DXD masters
NativeDSD.com was founded Early 2014 by Jared Sacks (Channel Classics Records founder and recording enigneer) and his son Jonas (cinematographer and music-enthousiast). Starting out with just the Channel Classics Records catalogue of about 170 albums (in DSD at the time), their goal was to create a central place where highest resolution music fans could go to find the best quality recordings in the world in both Stereo and Multichannel, directly from labels recording in DSD and/or DXD.
The original performance
A big part of that vision was to make music as Direct Stream Digital (DSD) downloads available to listeners anywhere in the world. This included obtaining DSD Edit Masters and Analog Master Tapes that could be transferred to DSD, bringing you, the listener, as close to the original performance as possible.
In the last years, the NativeDSD platform has seen tremendous growth. Today offering 1.700+ albums from 68 labels – ALL available in DSD (and sometimes DXD). More and more record labels are joining this platform store as DSD is becoming the go-to format for acoustic recorded music.
“As a professional musician, when I became a classical music label owner, it was my passion to not only bring great music to our listeners, but also to transfer the emotion of that music’s creation. I found that recording in DSD best met that need, and it is why we started this platform.”
C. Jared. Sacks
“Musicians are just the best people to work with, when I started photographing and filming artist for Jared’s label, I knew I wanted to be involved in a bigger part of the recording process. Starting this platform was an answer to that longing, delivering the beautiful engineering done by my father and all the other labels, to a worldwide audience.”
– Jonas C. Sacks
