PS Audio makes the iconic and hugely popular DirectStream DAC. This DAC converts PCM TO DSD and outputs (as do all DACS) via analogue through your preamp. Spectacular results that produce analogue like results. I run Nodost cable from my DAC to my Krell Foundation and stream high res files from my music server, a Mac Mini. I use Pure Music software that attaches itself to iTunes and takes over as the music player. The music is, well, not only BETTER than analog but kind of like a musical heroin. :-).
DACs that upsample to DSD internally?
Hello Everyone,
I'm wondering if we can form a list of DACs that are capable of upsampling PCM to DSD internally? I realize there are various software programs that could do this on the fly from your PC. But for the truly computer illiterate among us (like me) who find learning to use such programs incredibly frustrating, it would be great to know which DACs can to this. I only know of the Directstream. Thanks to all!
