Yes, that's indeed important, this article sheds some light on the subject: https://positive-feedback.com/Issue78/dsd.htm Burr Brown/Ti are the DAC chips with true DSD, according to that article. The Mojo also has digital volume control, which apparently only can be done on PCM, so yes thats a indicator for a DAC is not true-DSD. A analog VC is a little inconvenient these days, but then one can get off the sofa once in a while :-) And how about this odd DAC: http://www.lampizator.eu/Fikus/DSD_DAC.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SBFan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67994 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108933 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
