Hi,

is a 400Mb/s SSD enough for DSD 256 signal transmission? Does this maximal bit rate limit play a role in sound quality?

its +/- 3megabytes/sec per channel, so it can play >100 channels in parallel

edit: that was for 512...

That will be 400MB/s (Mega byte, not mega bit), so around 3200Mb/s

DSD 256 is just under 23Mb/s - your SSD will stomp all over it. And no, the SSD data rate will not play a role in sound quality.

(Nor will memory speed - nor any other digital part of your playback chain)
