Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: DAC's Which Convert PCM to DSD

Actually none of the stand alone dCS DACs* will convert PCM to DSD.

The conversion occurs either in the transport or via a separate upsampler. Earlier dCS DACs will also only accept the DSD in encrypted form so non-dCS sources will not work with them. Later DACs accept unencrypted DSD in DoP format.

The all-in-one-box players e.g Puccini and both versions of the the new Rossini do offer PCM/DSD upsampling.

* I am not counting the Rossini version without he CD mechanism as a stand alone DAC as it is also a network streamer.
