In Reply to: DAC's Which Convert PCM to DSD posted by Mikey8811 on March 14, 2016 at 23:50:56:
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.
