Thanks. I'm waiting for a traditional desktop DAC. Smsl or topping will probably release something in the near future.
So many proper devices just have a SMPS with some power filtering.I wonder if the V2 running on a good linear power supply would do better?
They're just poly caps, won't sound any diffetent to any other poly caps
For newly tested DACs, test DSD DoP at 64fs, 256fs and 256fs with fs=48k.
There is lots of music recorded and distributed in DSD natively, especially classical and jazz, and there are also plenty of reissues of other genres released in DSD. So yes, DSD is important to me.yeah let's test exotic, synthetic file formats on every DAC, very important..

For fs=48k I'd just like to know if it works at all, given vendors don't advertise. With tools like HQ Player able to use, if you were going to use it wouldn't you want to know if it worked properly?
There is no commercially available DSD in 48fs. Let's not twist my words here. All Sony SACD as well as Web DLs are 44fs.How is DSD exotic?
Not really... the majority of DSD recordings are edited, mixed and mastered in PCM, then converted back to DSD.There is lots of music recorded and distributed in DSD natively
It is true that most albums are edited in PCM and converted to DSD, but not all. In any case, as I said there is lots of music recorded _and_ distributed in DSD; in my case, 1/5 of my library is DSD. So, I'd like to know a DAC will play it properly. Most of my music is either 64fs or 256fs, thus the request for those rates in particular. I'm not sure why that is unreasonable, and there is evidence that some DACs have poor DSD support.Not really... the majority of DSD recordings are edited, mixed and mastered in PCM, then converted back to DSD.
Now, i'm sure mine are real ->
It's a very good DAC with very good capabilities
I always get suspicious when I see Mundorfs. Reeks of snake oil.People hi
