Yes, but an external DAC may have HDCD on an application specific chip that is more closely tied to DAC function, compared to a modern receiver which has a bunch of DSP code inside a really big chip, all of which feeds the same DAC. Reading the AES paper, it did say any DAC can be used in decoding, so a CD player that decodes HDCD and has digital out may be usable as well, but most DAC only have digital in, not out. -- Skunk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32967 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
