In Reply to: Onkyo HF Player enables 'hi-res' including DSD on iDevices posted by AbeCollins on April 14, 2014 at 09:50:15:
The DACs in the current generation of "i" devices are incapable of reproducing digital data with a resolution greater than 24/48. Anything higher will be downsampled.
Apple will have to release new players with hirez DACs before native hirez playback is possible.
So not only will we have to purchase additional copies of music we already own, we will have to purchase new devices to play back the new files.
Best,
Ross
