BH,

So is your library 90% DSD? Why would you want to convert PCM to DSD? Because you can???

Look unless your DAC is using an FPGA as the DAC chip and only outputs DSD then this would make sense. The rest of the DAC chips on the market are going to convert DSD back to a form of PCM before they output to their analog circuitry. So doing this is a freaken waste of time.

Guys, think of this when your go off on a quest. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should do it.

Thanks,
Gordon
