Thank you for the information

I haven't read the entire thread, can anyone advise me if the 650s are the same as the Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 6XX? Thanks.

Not me.

This is truly a great device, I don't even bother to use my DAP on the road anymore. I haven't tried full size can but using BT LDAC connection, Android, phone on max volume, and my JH Audio JH13 Pro, I use around half of the available volume on the 5K, already quite loud for me. Perhaps your...

Seems to be available at Gustard official online retailer in China here, less than USD550.

I only know of Mytek Brooklyn having this issue, quite well documented.

It shouldn't be hard to get a used player that does DSD output, I got my Sony for less than $100.

Noticed Topping D90 does not support DoP over coaxial but I am sure quite a few DACs out there already do that. Certainly my MA element X and Mytek Brooklyn do that via both coaxial and optical, and there is no conversion of DSD to PCM when say a player like Oppo and Sony is set to output DSD...

Good for you, but my experience tells me differently. My Matrix Audio element X has 4 I2S settings, and NONE of them work with the I2S output of my Denafrips Avatar CDT. Fortunately the Avatar has a second I2S output and it saves the day. As there is no universal standard I2S per say, there...

This is certainly one of the ways but some of us still want to pop that disc and play for old time sake . I certainly rip mine too.

As there's no standard I2S termination/pin assignment, connecting between two components from different brands with I2S can be tricky.

That's good. I'm just very glad I can now choose not to rip, although I do, my SACD, and can just pop a disc into the Blu-ray player and hear it's full resolution through my DAC.

Sorry, when you said "With the new gadget I2S HDMI, you can still play SACD via coaxial/optical however at 88.2Khz only.", did you mean in your setup? With coaxial DoP from this gadget, I'm getting RAW DSD to my DAC with no problem. However, this is my second unit, my first unit had issue and...

I'm using similar product and can now successfully play SACD using a Sony BDP -S590 Blu-ray player via coaxial DoP.

Take a look at this, not sure if the hardware has been updated since.

I think it was mentioned somewhere that it's whether Spotify wants to be "connected" in a way like what Tidal and Qobuz are doing, for example, can be connected through Roon.

Its Dolce & Gabbana by the way but thanks for bringing this up, most interesting.

Happy for you, really.

Moral of a story .... no matter how good they sound, if they make you look like an idiot, pass.
