Is DSD harmful for tweeters & amps?

How?

How?

Maybe DSD could fry them with its ultrasonic noise?

You would have thought by now, if that was actually a "thing", it might have become a "thing". No?

I'm just asking. I'm not here to give my conclusion.

Why this forum is filled with despondent people?!

My JBL 305p MKiis have Class-D amps.

Don't you need digital speakers for DSD? I know that you need a high def antenna to get over the air HD

No, or there would have been several damaged tweeters and amps by now.

Agreed, why don't people just answer the question...

I know (not all) that. But DSD is giving me something different sound signature from PCM... My rig is: 2x JBL 305pMKii + IFI Zen V2 + JRiver

If seriously I don’t think there’s a reason for concern, the ultrasonics levels are fairly low to cause damage.

No they will warmup to a more constant temperature

No. I've not seen evidence of this.

Do you think there is a problem with your system when playing DSD?

 

[PaperBoat]

No they will warmup to a more constant temperature

That's my point. Could the constant temperature lead to damage equipments?

 

[Hayabusa]

No they will warmup to a more constant temperature

But in theory if your amp would be -3dB at 1Mhz there could be quite some power at the tweeter if your DSD source has no LP filter at all..

Till now it's seems fine... I'm still in A/B phase.

Yes it is very dangerous. Play 48K PCM only!
