Home Computer Audio Asylum

Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

The "preamp" version also does DSD, through the XMOS chipset via USB.

The XMOS chip is capable of passing DSD to a compatible DAC, and the Mytek "preamp" version is able to do so. Is there any benefit to using the "Mastering" version with the DSD (i2s?) inputs as BNC's on the back instead of going through the USB?

I guess you could use a hacked player to connect to the Mytek that way, but if you have the skills to hack a player, you probably have the skills to build a Twisted Pear Buffalo, which could do both if you had an XMOS Reference Design. Well, it couldn't be an analog preamp....
