In Reply to: I don't have a DSD DAC at the moment... posted by Ivan303 on November 21, 2015 at 15:46:33:
to read about your experience with PS, perhaps compared to your 1704 DAC. I've managed to compare a PS DAC with an Accustic Arts DAC from Germany (1704) in a dealer system but not at home. For me it was unconvincing but maybe you'll have an epiphany.
I must be some kind of digital fundamentalist, or some such, which makes me intellectually uncomfortable. But R-2R and New Multibit (boutique, discrete) seems to deliver sound that's so much better, compared to the current crop of 'I-can't-believe-it's-not-multibit' DSD/bitstream pretenders, it's almost depressing!
In an ideal world, the likes of Metrum, Soekris, EC Designs and others, would rapidly begin to license out their designs to other high-end or audiophile manufacturers to use in their own DACs.
Fingers crossed.
