In Reply to: it almost certainly does convert to PCM posted by tunenut on March 17, 2007 at 13:01:00:
Information is sketchy on the Yamaha; I bought it locally knowing I could return it if I didn't like it, which I have done many times before.My manual does list the 24 Bit 192kHz internal DAC's but it only lists the frequency response as follows:
DVD fs 96kHz - 2 Hz - 44 kHz
DVD fs 48kHz - 2 Hz - 22 kHz
CD fs 44.1kHz - 2 Hz - 20 kHzIt doesn't list the frequency response for 192kHz DVD-Audio or SACD.
If DSD is converted to high rez PCM it doesn't sound PCM'ish, but even 44.1kHz doesn't sound PCM'ish so it very well could convert and you are correct it's the end results that matter. How music sounds, and this is very musical and enjoyable.
