I guess I don't know that much about my DA-3000. Are you saying that when using it as a DAC you can send it PCM and up-sample to DSD? If that's possible, I'll give it a try.Thanks for the link to the Hi-Rez Editor. I've downloaded it and I'll also give that a try. Perhaps this will motivate me to begin recording vinyl to DSD.
Thanks again,
John Elison

Sorry about that.
I think my statement was misleading.
I did try what you mentioned and no you cannot up-sample the SPIDF inputs beyond PCM 192/24. That was disappointing but I'm sure there is a reason why.
I should have said you can up-sample the analog inputs to a 5.6M DSD recording.
But, if there was a source that would spit out SDIF-3 (DSD-Raw) those inputs can be up-sampled I believe.
At least the control panel does not give an error when that is selected.
But that source has been elusive in my searches so far.
I've tried the editor to up-sample .wav files to 5.6M DSD and it works nicely but I have not done a sound quality comparison.
Hopefully some one else has experience with this comparison and whether it makes a noticeable difference.

That's not called up-sampling and it doesn't require the use of the sample rate converter (SRC). What you are talking about is simply recording in DSD, which is the intended purpose of the DA-3000 DSD recorder. I have recorded two LPs at DSD(5.6-MHz) and I intend to do more recording now that I have the DSD Editor.
Thanks,

Ok. Got it. I understand the analog input has no sampling attributable to the playback of tape/vinyl. Would that also hold for say the analog output from a CD/DVD player? Just asking to improve my knowledge.
Still fairly new to the terminology (and technology). :)
Any ideas on the SDIF-3 interface source?
Seems proprietary in nature and either not used any longer, used only on specialized equipment or never was popular enough.
Yes, sampling is not applicable to analog signals -- only digital. The sample rate converter (SRC) allows you to record a digital signal at a different sampling frequency.
The SDIF interface is found primarily on professional digital equipment.
