Which claims support for native DSD 512 via I2S via HDMI cable.Right now I know of no way to interface a laptop USB to I2S at those rates but I have plans to purchase a Singxer SU-1 XMOS XU208 box anyway as it is supposed to be a superior USB interface, much better than the AMANERO USB card currently internal to my DAC which has I2S via HDMI input anyway.
I've heard the Singxer pcb card in a small box with the new XU208 chip in another system driven by a uRendu and the owner is very happy with it.
It only goes to DSD 256 but there are indications that may change early next year.
The idea of upsampling to DSD 512 in software and streaming to a DAC capable of dealing with that would be interesting, if one could do it for less than $1500, the price of the GUSTARD DAC and the Singxer box.
Add a Windows 10 computer with a high end graphics card and suddenly I am losing interest.
Seem to recall that older MacBook Pro had a discrete nVidia graphics option?
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
