I might be tempted to try HQPlayer with a fast computer....

up-sampling 44.1/16 files to DSD 512 and running to a Singxer SU-1 USB to I2S converter then to the new Gustard ES9028 DAC.

I think inmate 'Mikel' is doing that with HQPlayer and maybe a Lampizator DAC of some kind claiming sonic equivalence to the $40K Trinity R2R Ladder DAC with 16 PCM1704U-K's running in parallel, one per bit?

Maybe not? Just hearsay?

I going to get the Singxer for my main system anyway as the HDMI I2S has dip switches which allow matching to the Audio-GD HEMI I2S input.

The Gustard DAC is less that $1000 and I have a third location which is where a new computer will soon be located so...

Only expense is the Gustard DAC and perhaps more computer power for high rates of up-sampling that would otherwise be needed.

Must be able to do this with an Apple as the wife is being weaned off of Windows because I can no longer answer her Windows related questions.

Might do the Meridian thing while I'm waiting for Singxer to get the firmware update out for DSD 512 support. Not buying now and trying to figure out how to do a firmware update later as with the Audio-GD firmware thing that I missed out on.
