  1. I think that Monterey is (and stays) the last OS for that computer. So, for security reasons, it is good idea to update to the latest 12.6.2 (and Safari to the ver.16). In overall, in my opinion, Monterey works better than BigSur.
  2. Both cards are based on Kepler, supported OOB even in Big Sur. Kepler is the last supported NV microarchitecture, it seems. Catalina works in my computer with Kepler card. I hold back for Big Sur (to early). Maxwell and Fermi are not supported anymore.
  3. Very well said, I must say.
  4. Although I have strong and warm feelings about Estelon's, I think that Piega Master Line Source 2 can compete in transparency and overall realism. https://piega.ch/en/products/master-line-source-2
  5. Happy New Year for all of us around the globe!
  6. Actually, that coax carrys balanced SPDIF signal because SPDIF transformers on the both end, build inside devices. Only very low quality devices are built that way where is no transformers used. So, in quality devices SPDIF coax is carrying balanced signal and that is also galvanically isolated. Ethernet is basically the same thing, only 4 channels/pairs is used at time, not one like on coax. Just the cable itself is more cheaper than same lenght of quality coax cable.
  7. Yes, RME is probably the best for the money, same price category as Tascam. https://archimago.blogspot.com/2018/09/measurements-rme-adi-2-pro-fs-adc.html
  8. That PCM4202 is also found on Tascam DA-3000. https://tascam.com/us/product/da-3000/top
  9. Yes, this is technically the best and secure method.
  10. I feel myself somewhat "responsible" for that, because I promoted DSD and that DSD-amplifier idea in one other forum to Estelo'ns co-worker, sadly that person no longer works for Alfred anymore, I don't know why.
  11. Hi, Bunbei. "Bunbei speculates the experiment by Professor Yamasaki is the first achievement of class-D audio amplifier with direct PDM input." If I remember correctly, in Japan some entusiast tries that concept in about 2011, with DSD64 input signal. Volume regulation was done via high quality regulated power supply, where increase or decrease of power voltages changes the volume level. THD level was in 0,1% class in whole audio band. Not the cleanest performance, but good enough for first try. This is very interesting idea, I must say. I have Tascam DA-3K too, and one more Amanero Combo384 for testing purposes, but sadly, I have not much spare time for that hobby. All the best, Maldur

As barrows said before - "If SACD had replaced CD entirely when it was introduced we would be so much better off now... All music would be hi res!" And if DAW's/sound editors evolution is not stopped then, they can edit DSD by now and we can avoid PCM in entire process. Today we have that computational power to process/edit DSD in pure mode, even in real-time in some cases.
