Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 442 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently describe the superb audio quality and mention that listening to these clear, dynamic tracks truly feels like being present at a live performance. People also genuinely appreciate the well-laid-out catalog, handy album previews, and the detailed technical explanations provided for each high-resolution recording.

Reviewers additionally mentioned that the overall music selection is somewhat limited regarding popular genres outside of traditional classical and jazz pieces.

Downloads and sonic quality

With the nativeDSD downloader app, downloads work flawless, not so with the standard Windows downloader (which opens if you simply click on the "download" button). So the use of the nativeDSD downloader app is highly recommended.
Sonic quality of my purchases (DSD256 and DXD/24) is excellent and noticeably surpasses the already really good Qobuz streams (PCM up to 192/24) which I mostly use. The improvement is particularly in terms of openness and three-dimensionality. I like it a lot!

Dear Claus, thank you so much for this detailed and enthusiastic review, and warm greetings back to Germany! You are absolutely right that the nativeDSD Downloader app gives the smoothest, most reliable experience for these large high-resolution files. We are thrilled to hear your DSD256 and DXD/24 purchases are delivering that extra openness and three-dimensionality over your Qobuz streams. Enjoy the music!

Superb Bassface DSD album from Stockfisch

Bassface DSD album from Stockfisch is simply superb. Kudos to NativeDSD for making it available in the original DSD64 format. Other retailers have it in converted PCM format which is one extra step of unnecessary processing.

Dear Stan, thank you for your wonderful review! We're proud to offer the Bassface album from Stockfisch in its original DSD64 format. Preserving the music in its native resolution, without any unnecessary conversion, is exactly what we aim for. Thank you for noticing and for your support. Happy listening!

Reply from NativeDSD Music

Dear Farouk, thank you for your kind words about the music, we are so glad it sounds glorious to you! We are sorry to hear the download process was interrupted. For large high-resolution files, a wired ethernet connection tends to be more stable than Wi-Fi and can help prevent interruptions, and our NativeDSD Downloader is designed to resume interrupted downloads as well. If it happens again, please reach out to us at support@nativedsd.com and we will make sure you get all your files. Happy listening!

Dont like WAV container for music

Download was quite ok, but I don't like wav container , missing the metadata everywhere . FLAC or ALAC is preferred.

Dear Reinhard, thank you for your review and feedback. We are glad to hear the download itself went smoothly, and we understand the preference for FLAC or ALAC with full metadata. Many of our titles are available in multiple formats, and we would be happy to help you find an alternative format or sort out the metadata so you can enjoy your music the way you like it. Please reach out to us at support@nativedsd.com and we will take care of it. Happy listening!

There was a problem downloading the first 32 bit track of the new Detroit Carmina Burana, but Native DSD worked it out quickly. The recording is magnificent. As far as I know Native DSD is the only place to get the original 32 bit version.

We're proud to be the place to find the original 32-bit version, and we appreciate you being part of the NativeDSD community. Happy listening!

The music catalog is very impressive but I would like also some pop music if it’s possible.

Also something I’ve noticed is that if I bought dsd 512 format and the album has dsd 256 5 channels even having the plus membership I don’t have access to it, why it is not included? I know that I bought 2 channels dsd 512 because there’s no 5 channels.

Reply from NativeDSD Music

Dear Rodrigo, thank you for your kind review and great feedback on our catalog! We hear your wish for more pop titles — our catalog depends on what labels make available in high-resolution, but we're always working to broaden our offerings. On your question: stereo and multichannel are mastered and sold as separate editions, so a DSD 512 stereo purchase doesn't automatically include the DSD 256 5-channel version, even with a Plus membership. We'd be glad to look into this with you and find the best option — please reach out to us at support@nativedsd.com and we'll help sort it out. Happy listening!

Music downloaded from is excellent/Selection Not So Much

Music downloaded from is excellent quality. My biggest concern with purchasing more is the selection. While classical and jazz show off and shine the most, to-date I've not found (and maybe it's me) other venues. Believe older rock and blues (70' through 2000) probably not have the ability to be in DSD level, but some of each should be available for purchase. Lot's of great stuff over the past 20 plus years out there! -ETNJ

Dear Edward, thank you for your review and your kind words about the audio quality. We appreciate your feedback on the catalog — we're always working to expand our selection, and we hear the desire for more rock and blues titles in DSD. Our catalog depends on what labels make available in high-resolution formats, but we're continuously in conversation with labels to broaden our offerings. We hope you'll keep checking back as new titles are added regularly. Enjoy the music!

What I like the most on NativeDSD is that they have good music, good digital downloads. The downloader works also on linux LMDE 7, and the technical service is very good.
I have bought only one physical LP from Channel Classics and it sounds great. In other words NativeDSD is the place to go for DSD audio.

Missing Metadata, Insufficient Response from Native DSD, Not Resolved/No Refund 9 Days Later

I had some problems with a 192/24 Classical title downloaded from Native DSD. It turned out there was missing or damaged metadata. Contacting the company was easy and I received very friendly replies. It took a little bit of time, but it was fixed and I am happy with the results. Thank you, David!

We're sorry for the frustration and appreciate your patience.
