...I just assumed it was their attempt to future proof the unit. Or, then again, might just be marketing hype. Still looks very interesting!
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.
50mbps is only about 6megabytes per second. If your routers and switches are pure gigabit that means about 100 megabytes per second cap, your very very well equipped for that sans the DAC.DSD makes me crazy. I archived my first record to DSD 128, check it out if you want, it was a tribute to my grandmother and reflection on her passing, just dark ambient. Don't let dark in dark ambient scare you, it is very illuminating.
Just throwing it out there, here's the link
