Why isn’t Mr Ayataka Nishio credited with creating DSD audio? Who is credited with creating the CD? Who created PCM? Why does Sony have the rights for the term DSD? Can we call it 1 bit audio? I only really got interested in the engineering and science aspect of sound due to the work of Mr...

DSD proponents tend to only see aspects of the theoretical benefits and infer the superiority of the format. And subjectively, at least if you record to DSD using well designed hardware and play it back, it is apparently quite good but who has that hardware! A full comparison of DSD and PCM is...

The reason for a 2.0 version of the free compare formats sampler: We have been made aware by the good folks here at Audio Science Review that our Test your DAC! Free Format Comparison sampler contained some strange artifacts. Founder/Admin Amirm has taken the trouble to analyze our free...

The USB-C Dongle Market Apparently CS43130 was a Wolfson chip. It was Hidizs / Tempotec / Meizu that first drew my attention to CS43131. Later in 2020 products with dual CS43131 such as iBasso DC03 began appearing. We’ve had these pages...

Hello everyone. New member but I have been reading the reviews and forums here for a while. I created this account to post my experience and welcome input since I've tried all I can think of. I have also emailed SMSL 3+ days ago and am still waiting for a response - let alone an acknowledgment...

Multiple threads here deal with DSD, but I'm yet to see a bit more depth concentrated in one place. DSD For Beginners is boring and tells very little. Based on listening to the sound quality of DSD native from Cirrus Logic chips like that in Sonata HD Pro I find: • S/N ratio of DSD at high...

Of special interest to the audiophile community might be tracks 2, 3, 6 & 9. These tracks have been recorded using just one microphone, the Josephson C700S. The advantages of the One Microphone approach to recording are obvious: perfect imaging, great sense of depth, superior realism and phase...

Hi, I'm a newbie and I'm looking for a cheap small portable DAC/AMP that can playback DSD but I'm quite confuse because on the specs of a lot of DAC/AMP only show thing like 24/192 Khz (like this one...

Is there any recommended way to control volume? Currently using the JRiver volume control instead of the DAC (Preamp) to control volume. Should I use the DAC? If so, why? Audio device-Topping D50s DAC WASAPI

Which player do you prefer and why? ☺️

Hey everyone, im active on HeadFi and SBAF but after reading here, I decided to take objective measurements more seriously. Because of this new outlook on audio I have sold my Schiit Gungnir and am now looking for a new DAC for the Lyr 3. I sold my gungnir for $450, but i am willing to go higher...

This is a new AES paper which is a meta analysis of many studies which sought to determine whether test subjects could reliably tell the difference between 44.1khz and so called "hi-res" digital. The conclusion was that there's a small but statistically significant ability to distinguish the...
