The spring dac has an AK4137 SRC but DOES NOT need this for the DSD. as it's processes DSD data discretely on it's own patented R2R linear compensated resistor networks. NO, its not converted to PCM either. It's pure DSD.
I just wanted to post facts, as this is commonly assumed it's not possible. It is. And does DSD512 Native as well.The R2R module is completely custom, NOT off the shelf.
TWO resister networks for DSD, and TWO for PCM.
the second network of resistors works similar to trimming, so this is the first dac of it's kind to have Linear compensation.This is a true NOS dac with >126db SNR, and 0.00050% THD+N@5K for DSD
and 0.00068% THD+N@5K for PCM - and linearity is darn near flawless.
I don't like oversampling either BTW.The oversampling SRC is just optional and is NOT in the signal path when you are running in NOS mode. The best mode imho :)
