No FPGA necessary... any decent PC/Mac will do....

" Only certain types of FPGA configured DSD devices take lower resolution 16/44 level and CONVERT them to DSD. "
HQPlayer will convert 16/44 or any PCM to DSD, then output it to any DSD DAC. No special FPGA equipped DAC needed.
I've done it on my 6 year old Mac Mini, but I've never been overly impressed with DSD or SACD.
