Remove DSD to PCM Playback Plug-in by Sony

DSD Disc is a format specification Sony developed for writing high-definition 1-bit/2.8-MHz DSD audio files to recordable DVD media (DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW), playable on PC's and hardware supporting DSD Disc playback. The audio quality of a DSD Disc is comparable to a 2-channel SACD audio disc, which also happens to be mastered using 1-bit/2.8-MHz DSD audio files. DSD Disc is by no means intended to replace SACD. Playback of DSD Discs is currently limited to Sony VAIO PC's/notebooks, non-VAIO PC's running Windows Media Player 10/11 (with DSD plug-in), PlayStation3 and the Sony SCD-XA5400ES and SCD-XE800, whereas the SACD audio discs have much greater hardware playback support. Note that all PS3 models can play DSD Discs, even those that don't support SACD.

The software installer includes 8 files and is usually about 8.53 MB (8,943,914 bytes).
