yesShouldn't be there an lpf in my DAC?

Yes it is very dangerous. Play 48K PCM only!
That's very unfortunate for me! Because I'm certainly enjoying my DSD files greater than PCM (even hi-res).Just convert the DSD to PCM at a reasonable sampling frequency.
Means there's a risk?I would expect the DAC to filter-out the ultrasonic noise (and it is weak anyway). It's supposed to be an "audio DAC".
...A million years ago I was building a preamp that turned-out to be an ultrasonic (probably RF) oscillator. It blew one channel in my amp but the tweeters survived. I have no idea what the frequency was... I just deduced what had happened and went "back to the drawing board". But the inductance of the tweeters may have saved them.
My only use of DSD is in the form of multichannel SACD that my Oppo player converts to PCM before sending it to my AVR. I’ve a few stereo SACD but over 140 multichannel SACD.Well at the end of the day, why use such a flawed format to begin with? As Amir said when he analyzed the awful releases from Octave Records, why pay for huge files that are only storing ultrasonic noise?
why then do we all listen to DSD all day long? except the very few of us using R2R DACs...DSD flawed forty years ago flawed now.

Don't Say Dat . I have played many DSD files using many amps and several AVRs using desktop/standing speakers and so far, fine.Is DSD harmful for tweeters & amps?
No.Is DSD harmful for tweeters & amps?
No.Don't you need digital speakers for DSD?
Threads like this, possibly.Why this forum is filled with despondent people?!
No risk, no fun!That's very unfortunate for me! Because I'm certainly enjoying my DSD files greater than PCM (even hi-res).
