But it seems ever step up the DSD up-sample tree adds something (or not)?

HQPlayer can up-sample up to 512 DSD and folks are scrambling to find hardware capable of decoding it.

The good news here is that I chatted with Jussi at HQPlayer and he seems rather confident that the higher spec'ed iMac with i7 processors and Turbo Boost up to 3.8GHz might be able to handle the job of up-sampling to DSD 512 but doubts that the DSD over PCM (DoP) part (1.5 MHz PCM) will work well out the Apple USB port.

Suggests using Ethernet and running the steam into something like the uRendu then into a DSD 512 capable DAC.

Still, he says that will take about 50+ Mbps on the network as a constant stream. My Gigabit Network would likely require a bit of fine tuning before I could try that out. Oh, that and a DSD 512 capable DAC.





First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
