Because of the wider acceptance of DFF and DSF files, Blue Coast Records is no longer selling ISO image discs. However, if you would like to experiment, we recommend downloading Korg's Free Audiogate software. Links for the software can be found at http://audiogate.bluecoastrecords.com along with free DSD downloads to test. With Audiogate, you can create ISO image discs.
Not all Sony Playstation 3's play DSD ISO files. We recommend reading the pages at http://ps3sacd.com/ where serial number information might be found as to whether your Playstation works with DSD ISO images.
From these humble beginnings, there are now more than a 100 devices ready for playing DSD audio. You can find out more information at DSD-Guide about these devices.
Thank you!

DSD Disc Burning
We're excited to begin offering our music in the new DSD Disc Format. DSD Disc is an open format and does not require an SACD transport system to hear the full quality of the Blue Coast Recorings. DSD Discs can be played in any Sony Playstation 3 (PS3), Sony's SCD-XA5400ES and their upcoming SCD-XE800. DSD Disc files can also be played using Korg's AudioGate software which accompanies their MR series DSD Recorders. We are hopeful that additional manufacturers will be adding DSD Disc Format capability in future.
If you are already familiar with burning disc images you may not need the instructions below. If you're not we have set-up a step-by-step procedure for the burning the downloaded ISO disc image file to DVD, including a free (and very simple) image-burning application for Windows users. If you need support please contact us.
NOTE: It will not work to simply copy the ISO file to DVD media. The ISO file must be burned to the disc as an image, which contains the formatting and file structure necessary for the PS3 and other units to read the DSD Disc Format.
