No, you have it all wrong....


My PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC does not convert to DSD.

From the Stereophile Review (and it's also on the PS Audio website):

..." the NuWave DSD and the DirectStream are very different DACs. The NuWave DSD does not convert incoming signals to DSD. It does use a dedicated DAC chip (a Sabre32 Hyperstream, from ESS Technology). And while the NuWave does employ a programmable........ Both DACs use passive filtering at the output...."

Yes, I know how much you love your Sony. I returned mine not because of it's sound but because I disliked it's constraining software and somewhat clunky (IMHO) user interface and control App on the tablet. But I've grown to expect the flexibility of a computer based system. Just me perhaps.
