Thanks Esoteric - interesting
My Bdp2 does not downsample, it streams what it gets into the dac, so I was a bit nonplussed by the dCS manual as to what precisely the Bridge does. It does seem to be an excellent feature, not in any other streamer I have come across. It is just a question of configuring.
If Dsd has to be deconstructed into analogue, then doing it in 2 stages in a high quality dac by downsampling first presumably results in unhearable differences?
So all is great until 352.8 is freely available! Then I suppose the whole shebang re the suitable processor is up for grabs and the new ones will have to have a plethora of aes inputs.
