In all fairness it should be pointed out that Super Hi-Rez offers both DSD and PCM HD downloads, though the numbers of titles seems heavliy weighted towards DSD at this point.

The newest company in the group is Native DSD Music, who had just launched the beta version of their website before the show. Official launch date is Febuary 1st, and the company has already signed Harmonia Mundi. Shown below in the photo are (L to R): Ted Brady, Jared Sacks, Tom Caulfield and Jonas Sacks.
