Yesterday evening with a my friend, expert in live recording, I have compared the HQPlayer + Amanero + DSC1 2.5 with Foobar2000 (without upsampler) + AK4137 (out DSD 5.6 or 11MHz) + DSC 2.5 and it is not easy determine which combination sounds best. http://www.audiodesignguide.com/DSC1/index.html the most incredible thing about this game is that changing the player the sound is very different even if the conversion to dsd is done by ak4137

The aim of these measures is only to show that the distortion is really low and it is not necessary to have a better accuracy in the measurements because this does not change the quality of the sound. For my audio measurement I use EMU 0404 USB with or without the my EMU input and in other case the Clio system.

The 5.6MHz is the best value but in any case this is at 0dB (not -10dB as indicated in Arta) with an output of 1.7Vrms

nautibuoy, can you contact me by email ? [email protected] or [email protected]

Do you mean to use only a transformer instead of an RC filter ?
