New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

don't think 1796 converts to PCM

I don't think the block diagram is correct. There would be no need for special analog filters in "DSD mode" if the signal were converted to PCM....there would be no additional out of band noise to filter.....so, I don't think the 8 times oversampling filter is used in DSD mode. When you see a DSD signal converted to PCM there is no "DSD out of band noise" on it(observed with Ocsilloscope). I have seen the output of all the Burr-Brown DSD DACs and everyone of them have the "DSD out of band noise" on them...even the $4.00 8 channel jobbies. The Oppo players that play SACDs convert the DSD signal to PCM at 24/88 and the output waveforms looks exactly like a 24/88 output..no additional noise.
