False advertising


Any dacs out there that actually perform to specs? I’m looking for a dac that can do 512 dsd natively eg no dop . Many dacs claim > 128 dsd but there’s always an asterisk.  My d1100 specs include 256 dsd but only plays 64-128 dop . According to mcintosh 256 is achieved only via usb on windows asio driver. As such I’m limited to 128 dop but not higher. If I don’t set dsd dop I get white noise/hiss. 
 

i stream using auralic g2.1 and have some 256 files. 
 

thoughts will be appreciated. 
 

thanks.

FYI, There are no 512dsd ‘native’ files…the pro studio recording standard is resolution upto 256dsd. Anything above 256dsd is upsampled. 

There are many DAC’s that will do native DSD upto 256dsd, unfortunately your current DAC isn’t one of them.
