An FPGA based DAC that converts everything to DSD

Posted by Sordidman on January 2, 2019 at 10:11:27:

IS optimizing redbook level playback...

Your post is trolling as the subject is hi-rez DACs, and this is a hi-rez FORUM.

This isn't the place to make pronouncements about whether or not Hi-Rez works.

People DO enjoy the SACD format. People also have Universal players that play DVD, DVD-A, SACD, and redbook discs. These folks get to compare directly the recording quality, - sometimes with the exact same music between CD and SACD discs. Most agree that the SACD discs of the same recordings do sound substantially better at the higher resolution of SACD.


The same/or similar holds true with digital file playback.

Many folks who have purchased the DirectStream DAC or the APL DSD DACs where an FPGA chip processes all input to the DSD before converting to Analog report a much improved SQ.
