I have. I streamed Norah Jones this morning on Tidal vs DSD Files I have stored on there. There is a difference. DSD file is much more engaging with more space and dimensionality. Also I get much more presence in Norah's voice.

I also own Norah's SACD set, so I look forward to comparing the P02X spinning the disc vs the DSD file on the W20. I have an inkling of what will sound better.

The P02X and my turntable will serve the purpose of playing the recordings that shine in a redbook cd, sacd, and vinyl; those that simply sound better when physical media is present as opposed to being streamed on the W20. The W20 will certainly be my playback workhorse, if this makes any sense.
