If you can make it to the next PNWAS meeting we can play them through my DAC, and you can tell me if I'm delusional or not.
Will do!

Thanks.Thanks for bringing it up. I totally missed this post by Bruce.

So Bruce,
when you going to provide the quad rate DSD Cheers

I'm sure the manufacturers are now working on a DSD512 DAC as we speak!! More is better, right??

Yep, up to the point that the logic elements can handle it. It's a settling time issue. Andreas, even using discrete ECL logic circuit elements, found that 128fs was about the upper limit for data reliability. That's of course implementing with discrete logic. Integrated circuit logic, with its much lower inter element inductance and stray capacitance of course can operate faster than discrete logic. Witness the ARDA AD1201 and ESS9016/18 chips. But now it's no longer a garage shop venture. Gotta be able to sell a million of em before a foundry like TI or AD gets interested.
Hi Bruce!
One reason I think Merging with the Horus will corner this segment.
And then to really play it back ideally you also need a similar architecture; for now the Horus converters.
Who are the ones that are truly 1-bit DSD designed DAC architectures; Aside from the primary core studio focused companies with ADs/DAWs/DACs, Playback and possibly only one or two others (such as Meitner/EMM Labs using FPGA) that do not utilise OEM DAC chips.
Bruce,
I DLed the DSD256 file but I cannot play it back right now because my DSD DAC is receiving a mod.
I could convert it to PCM on the fly and play it with my PCM DAC, but it would defeat the purpose.
I'll try to report asap.
I think Charles did post 6 files, 3 in wav and 3 in dsf. At CompAudiophile, but said he would not leave thenm on for long.
Here you go...
001. Tascam DA-3000
002. EMM Labs ADC8 IV
003. Grimm AD1
004. Korg MR2000s
005. Merging Horus
Everything same....
