  1. I know it oversamples all lower rates to 8xDSD, but it's a DSD512 DAC. It's in their announcement: "MDAC™ in both platforms are now fully discrete DSD512/8xDSD D/A converters completely built in-house at EMM Labs' manufacturing facility in Canada."
  2. The dCS is a 64fs DAC so the lack of support for DSD512fs doesn't surprise me. But the updated EMM Labs is actually a DSD512/8xDSD DAC, as is the T+A DAC 8 DSD, yet only the latter accepts DSD512 input. That's what puzzles me...
  3. Cool, but why isn't it actually handling DSD512/8xDSD audio, like for example the T+A DAC 8 DSD?
  4. Very interesting measurements. And again, Miska, thanks for sharing them.
  5. Speaking of R-2R DACs performance, here's how the flagship Schiit DAC measures: Schiit Audio Yggdrasil D/A processor Measurements | Stereophile.com
  6. Can the Pinot ADCs be similarly daisy-chained for multichannel 11.2MHz DSD recording?
  7. Well, DSD-wide DAWs will be an alternative for them, so that they don't need to downsample their 256FS SDM masters to 8fS PCM or such.
  8. Many people upsample PCM to DSD so they "don't shun any kind of processing," and DSD processed without any downsampling/decimation at MHz rates, is superior to the first option, as such files can be played in NOS mode on DSD DACs.
  9. But that could change... SDM-wide DAWs certainly bring us closer to end-to-end SDM...
  10. IIRC, Miska said that pretty much everything is possible in terms of SDM-wide DSP for DSD. So, let's wait and see what the new DSD DAW will be capable of...
  11. Fortunately, DSD-wide DAWs don't require decimation, and the conversion to low rate PCM and back can be avoided.
  12. An important and most welcome development. I trust that it's going to support the current DSD128+ rates...
  13. If they do process DSD, its internal representation is still delta-sigma modulated signal. AKM, among others, offer a more direct path for DSD (bypassing decimation, and two steps of internal oversampling) in their SDM DACs...
  14. Just wanted to remind everyone that the current DSD DACs can already accept DSD up to 24.6MHz, which gives them great SNR and super-wide bandwidth.
