In Reply to: RE: DAC's Which Convert PCM to DSD posted by Mikey8811 on March 14, 2016 at 23:50:56
The modulators that perform the conversion require significant computing resources to do it well. You would be much better served by doing PCM--> DSD in your computer first, then sending to a DSD dac. As oldmkvi posts, HQPlayer does this and may well have the best DSD modulators money can buy.

Thanks for correcting my false impression of this. I thought upsampling within the DAC would be less fidgety but your points make sense. However, I am streaming my library through an Auralic Aries and I guess upsampling via software is not an option unless Auralic incorporates it into their streamer via a firmware update.
