Indeed, - most Field Programmable Gate Array chips are not used for audio.....
These DACs that use FPGA tech are the "process" behind up-converting everything received to DSD..
""FPGA tech""

Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
