Time to revive this thread?... I recently bought a KORG MR-1000 field stereo recorder that is capable to produce DSD files natively. I am processing these files on a Sony Vaio Computer. The current FZ series are all equipped with the "Soundreality Chip" that can process DSD. Together with the Sonicstage Mastering Audio software, run in DSD mode, one can subsequently produce nice CDs using Sony's SBM-Direct, or generate files to many other formats such as 96Khz - 24 bits, which these can be played on Transporter of course. I have considered buying one of the recent AV-amplifier that are able to natively process DSD over the HDMI interface (and according to Sony, DSD can be sent over the Vaio HDMI interface) , however felt that the audio capabilities would probably be subpar (have not further investigated). Coming to the point, my question, I guess to Sean Adams, is how "easy" it would be to activate playing DSD files on Transporter, is this "only" a firmware upgrade? I realize it's really a niche.. but if AV-amplifiers can do it... why not have it on Transporter?
