Hi BR, Edo on the SBT gives 24/192 max on both spdif outputs. Looking at the spec for your receiver I can see no USB input which would be needed for DSD in direct form. One of the cheapest DSD dacs that work with the SBT usb output is 'this ' (http://ifi-audio.com/portfolio-view/nano-idsd/) There are lots more if you google. Ignore the people who tell you not to bother as you are only buying padded out files :p;):D. Enjoy your music. If you are in the UK pm me and I can post a couple for you to try (if your not in a hurry :) ). atb ronnie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Man in a van's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43627 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101641 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
