DSD and Femto Clocks The New Standard?


.
Would it be safe to say that going forward, any new DAC coming out that wants to be taken seriously has to be able to do DSD and have a femto clock?

I guess it depends on the architecture.

The designer of the new PS Audio DirectStream DAC has spoken a fair bit on the choice of clocks in his new design and he argues that the criteria for a good clock in his system isn't the same spec used in Femto Clocks etc.

As for DSD, implementation varies so as usual, an audition is worth more than paper specs. I personally find DSD to sound more analog and I like the effect.
