DSD

[radix]

There is. It is there on the bottom right of the diagram. I think this exemplifies well why you are not getting a lot of affection from the forum. You are saying should there not be a low pass filter on the DAC and the diagram you attached to the same post shows a low pass filter on the DAC. If you could spend a minute thinking about your own question rather than seemingly posting the first thing that came to your mind to the forum (and a more descriptive subject wouldn't hurt either) you would get a lot more traction in my experience.

I did not read his response as saying there was not a LPF, but as asking "isn't there a LPF on my DAC, given this picture?" granted, the sentence was not grammatical, but I that's how I interpreted it. The previous poster was positing a problem if his DAC did not have a LPF.

Yes you might be right. In any case, I've deleted the post as I don't want to be involved in this topic

Risk? seriously?

No. I believe this is a non issue. Mark this as irony.

Sorry to be blunt... but do we really need another DSD thread?

PCM vs DSD

Did a little comparison and I was wondering if any friend with better gear here has tested this. Results you're about to see is probably narrowed to the specific DAC but it's interesting to see how it handles things differently. I will not try to decipher the results other that DSD seems much...

DSD genuine improvement or marketing tool?

DSD, I never purchased any SACDs , the DSD material I have heard leaves me unconvinced. http://www.weiss.ch/assets/content/41/white-paper-on-DSD.pdf Your thoughts? Keith.

Does DSD sound better than PCM?

Does DSD sound better than PCM? Do you get better sound? I am so confused.

DSD playback

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...

DSD is it of any value

I would like to ask,if we send a DSD file to a DAC and we want to control the volume at the DAC, it has to be converted to PCM. So what is the point,we may just as well send a Hi Res PCM file to the DAC, what is the value in a DSD file

The sound quality of DSD?

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...

DSD is better than PCM!

Fresh from the oven! From my favorite MC, Paul from PS Audio! Ok so, maybe he is right, I don't know and don't care much. Because he will probably say he is talking about the marvelous records, recorded directly DSD or something, on their Octave records. So it doesn't apply to the music that I...

Is DSD superior or just the audio file du jour?

Too many years knocking around this hobby has turned me from skeptic to cynic. Many of the people who seem to think DSD is the greatest thing since toilet paper on a roll are not people whose opinions I trust. But there are a few here whom I do. What say you? Tim

Got it. DSD = "Don't Submit Dat" again in ASR...

 

[JSmith]

"Don't Submit Dat"

I'll pay that... Just search for threads before starting new ones when possible. Otherwise we end up with the information and discussion spread over too many threads, which can make it difficult for people to find the info required. As you can imagine, DSD has been discussed ad-nauseam here.

You may find this a decent read as well;

static vibration

What does this mean?

What does this mean?

I meant very high frequency distortion. Maybe my wrong choice of words.

Is DSD harmful for tweeters & amps?

No, simply because the HF energy to a speaker is
A: too low in level compared to the actual signal (-50dB so effectively uW of noise compared to Watts of music power)
B: Volume pot position (listening level) dependent. (the lower the volume setting the less noise too)
C: The impedance rises as ultrasonic frequencies and thus the current drops
D: Any decent DAC will have some attenuation of the ultrasonic noise spectrum.

DSD64 would be the 'worst' of them, noise spectrum of DSD256 is shifted so far upwards it will be filtered anyway.

Nothing to worry about as some others already mentioned. Other respondents just joke about it and consider that people do not complain of failed tweeters let alone failed amps because they started listening to DSD instead of PCM.

That's really helpful. Thank you...
