I noticed this in the legal section: "Furthermore, we fully implement the Serial Copy Management System and flag the digital output stream appropriately as to prohibit copying. Besides that, copy protection mechanisms in form of watermarks embedded into the audio stream are still retained and are fully functional." So assuming you can rip them; In my guestimation the DSD>PCM conversion shouldn't be too different from what would go on inside some SACD players that have a standard DAC that accepts a PCM signal. The conversion is going to be made at some point regardless. There are posts on how to intercept the signal and output SPDIF from these types of players at DIYaudio.com, and I think someone makes boards for it as well, sans the copy protection and with multichannel available. If the copy protection is broken, e.g. having it on the hard drive, it becomes illegal though. The device in question is meant for external DACs only. -- Skunk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36917 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
