RE: DSD [A Reprise]...


That as a minimum a discrete DSD capable PC sound card is in the the realms of possibility, physically at least.

But why put such a device inside a harsh noisy environment? Most choose to use outboard DACs. Some DSD capable DACs like this one cost under $200 USD. There are several under $1000 USD.

You can get DSD player software for smartphoness including the Onkyo HF Player:

But the files are still huge so IMHO, they don't belong on a smartphone.

If the market for hi-fidelity sound is to mature beyond the confines of the audiophile's 'listening room', there will have to be at least some attempt to market it by the industry. They will also need something to sell and £000's boxes aren't going to cut it in volume.

Sony invented DSD and they are marketing it along with:
