Yup DSD aprox 20bits resolution in low frequncies and a bit worse than CD at 20kHZ ,must be rolled of in th ultrasonic range , it is not only tweeter frying it is amplifier stability tube amps can as an added problem have transfor resonances in this range . And this begs the question why HD tracks rips SACD to 192kHz sample rate ? 88.2 or lower must be a much better choice as it kills of a lot more ultrasonics . cliveb wrote: > I know nothing about how it works, but wouldn't it be deliciously ironic > if it turns out that the Mytek internally converts DSD to PCM :-) > > As far as I can tell, the Mytek uses the Sabre 32 bit DAC chip.

I dont think it's that simple many DACs are Delta sigma who is some kind of hybrid technology between one bit and pure multibit converters , the question is which intermediate format it can be feed and what it is using internally . But it is probably not a propblem , the conversion process does not introduce any significant problems as it is done to a format with more resolution , it just removes your possibility to claim PCM free playback ;) (which in itself is does not make sense as it is not a problem ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97545 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
