    foo_dsd_trellis: foobar2000 DSP plugin for DSD and PCM

    Started a few weeks ago an experiment with Claude Code to develop a full Trellis SDM for DSD playback. Since at that time Claude was still working decently (right now it's a mess) I kept adding more and experimenting everything. Even developed a full GPU Trellis SDM running over 252 parallel...

    Topping E30 DAC Review

    I've not heard any pop or click on changes between tracks of different bit rate nor file type on the E30. I'm using Foobar2000 on an old Win10 laptop. The main reason I stopped using ESS based DACs was because of their tendency to do this when bit rates or file types changed.

    Hypex Nilai 500 DIY Stereo Amp Kit Review

    I understand the concern that you don’t want anything to pop ever. But there is a big difference between dacs doing it between music tracks that could happen often each hour during listening, and a pop from powering off an amp at the end of a day

    Neutron HiFi DAC V1 Review

    @OHtaru besides DoP case I could not experience any pop & click in my case. In my latest experiments I was using sensitive IEMs, also kept DAC V1 connected via Isolator V1 (USB isolator) in order to exclude any noise induced via USB port. What you described is still valid with Firmware 70 in...

    Neutron HiFi DAC V1 Review

    Yes, this issue exists in Firmware 70. I have checked various combinations again, and this pop sound occurs in Full-Speed mode. EDIT: This noise should not be an electrical issue, as I can still reproduce it using my phone.

    Hypex Nilai 500 DIY Stereo Amp Kit Review

    Hi Juif. I will try to be as explicit as possible. Readers systematically mention that 'pop' noises are an annoyance that they do not tolerate when using a DAC for example which emits this 'pop' when switching from PCM to DSD conversion and vice versa for example. I do not see why this...

    Fosi Audio ZD3 Balanced DAC Review

    No offense, may I ask which DAC can completely eliminate POP sound during DSD switching?

    SACD Players in 2025?

    It's not. And if 'audiophiles' understood it, the 'stereo only' SACD market would collapse.

    SACD Players in 2025?

    Also Dutton Vocalion with a large selection of classical, some jazz, pop, rock and easy listening including numerous beautifully remastered quad recordings, and Sony Japan, mostly older rock, pop & some jazz, also superb remastered quad recordings & some more recent 5.1 remixes.

    Audio extractor recommendations for SACD (DSD) via HDMI to RME DAC?

    It might interest you to know that the makers of the most famous and best selling SACD, Dark Side of the Moon, 'undercut' CDs by mastering the CD layer with dynamic range compression, while leaving the DSD layer free of it. (There is a presumptuous but non-nefarious case for this: the CD layer...

    DSD Performance Criteria

    I don't see where this device supports DSD... except in the data-sheet (if implemented) where I see there is no direct 1-bit PDM signal-path to a simple low-pass D/A circuit. See the attached block diagram:

    SMSL RAW-MDA 1 DAC & Headphone Amp Review

    I like the RAW and it is my daily DAC, but it does sometimes have a light pop when changing to hires files on the USB input. It is a flaw in the design and maybe a reason to avoid this DAC if it might bother you. It isn't loud or frequent enough to damage speakers. It is more of an annoyance. My...

    SACD Players in 2025?

    Deadish. If you like the format and like classic rock and pop albums, Mofi and Analogue Productions are still putting them out in stereo for $35 a pop. I honestly think the good mastering they do on those CDs is more important than the DSD part, but that might just be me. However, it is mostly...

    SMSL D-6s Balanced DAC Review

    I agree, don't update unless you need to. The first and second time I tried to update it, it seemed to fail - based on the Chinese flashing program output; but the unit still worked. Again, I couldn't tell because it was in Chinese. But it didn't brick the unit. The fourth flash with the...

    When did studios begin 24bit recording ?

    The 24bit format, as a wrapper, has been there more or less from the beginning of the digital era. Perhaps the question you really ought to be asking is the stage at which 24bit A to D converters started to become widely available or, more precisely, when they started producing useful accuracy...

    SMSL RAW-MDA 1 DAC & Headphone Amp Review

    I have a couple of SMSL DACs and wouldn't recommend the brand to anyone. They sound great but so does every other DAC that doesn't have the technical bugs these have with Mac and Linux. D1 has the same popping issues and touch buttons you have to take apart to fix with tape to make work. The...

    Topping DX5II Balanced DAC and Headphone Amp Review

    Had a chance to spend some time listening to the Convolver and while the 40% or so output loss is a little ridiculous, it sounds tight, trippy and glorious on my Para 2 with quite a bit of forward projection, even if there is some minor loss of details. The improvements in bass timing and treble...

    SMSL RAW-MDA 1 DAC & Headphone Amp Review

    No issues with the Raw-MDA 1 on Linux here (Linux Mint Cinnamon) using the USB C input. I have Linux set to bit perfect output. No experience with any Mac stuff.

    Fosi Audio ZD3 Balanced DAC Review

    No offense taken :) The point of that remark was that when I initially read about the ZD3 I missed the 2nd line in the marketing material which said it was not removing the pop completely. I'm not sure if there's one which completely removes it, maybe the RME-2? It's enough but with the bump...
