It's time we wise up and ditch DSD for what it is, a highly convoluted way to introduce further problems into your sound listening!
Anyone who has wide-band amplifiers and loudspeakers, I do, should be VERY wary of DSD. The possibility that DSD will introduce potentially VERY high levels of noise up in the 30k-60khz range should be taken very SERIOUSLY.
Personally I think about the only claim you can make for supporting DSD recordings, is where the recording was direct to DSD at the outset, with no editing or mastering, and was released in its original form. As I understand it, any form of editing, including Mastering, requires the DSD stream to be converted into PCM... which begs the question, what value was there in capturing the DSD in the first place.Now if you care to comment and also @IVX and this is a bit OT (but not much) DACs like the RME ADI which support direct DSD, wouldn't the use of DSD be preferred in that case? or should we make the argument that direct DSD DACs should not exist in the first place?
No culpa, you just make perfect sense, I have nothing more to say.my 2c.
Apologies for ranting off-topic... mea culpa
I apologize if this has been answered already, but using the search function resulted in more confusion than answers: I currently have IEMs with balanced cables terminating in a male 3.5mm TRRS jack. I currently run these connected to the balanced input on a LH Labs GO2A DAC. I was hoping to get an E1DA 9038S but the 2.5mm output seems like an issue. Is there an adapter that I could use to reduce my balanced 3.5mm TRRS jack to the proper jack for the E1DA 9038S? If an adapter exists that will work, can you please recommend a specific one? Thank you for any help you can provide.
If your present cable is REALY ballanced TRRS in 3.5mm size, then you can try to search some 3.5mm TRRS to 2.5mm TRRS adapter but carefully, because most of these adapters are NOT ballanced and final price will be high (over 20USD)I apologize if this has been answered already, but using the search function resulted in more confusion than answers: I currently have IEMs with balanced cables terminating in a male 3.5mm TRRS jack.

you said you searched for the answer? )) https://e1dashz.wixsite.com/index/faq
Almost every day I see complains from my users who bought my DAC with no idea what it actually is. "You have design problem" or "when I use 2.5 to 3.5mm jack adapter-optimizer I hear only one left channel, hence, your DAC is bad soldered" etc. The problem is such "adapters" & "optimizers" aren't safe for the output opamps because of short their outputs to each other. Of course, I'll replace burned DAC for the brand new one but how to be sure if the user finally realized that he personally burning DACs and now stopped to do that?
I've no idea how to push you guys to read the product page?
3.5mm balanced is really quite rare. The adapter in question should go 3.5 from your IEM's standard to the A&K standard. A fellow member linked you such a cable above.Thank you for the response. I was mostly referring to the search function within these ASR forums, but that being said, I did see the FAQ on your Wix.com site as well during my research. However, the FAQ doesn't seem to address my specific question since my 3.5mm TRRS jack terminates from a balanced (e.g. 4 wire) cable, and your FAQ section specifically mentions a 3-wire setup. If there is no safe way to go from a 4-wire 3.5mm TRRS to a 2.5mm TRRS jack via an adapter, it would be worth adding that to the FAQ. I realize that the blanket statement of "DO NOT USE ADAPTERS" is a safer, easier, and more efficient response, but since you took the time to provide feedback to me, I felt compelled to do the same for you.
