how can I get DSD signal from my Sony SCD5400 ES

thanks for the info.

so getting another Sony TA DA 5400ES will not work to improve sound quality

I think I will wait for HDMI DSD. I think there is
rapid development in this area so I may not have to wait that long.

Thanks also for the comment on the HydraX

Are you sure there's an HDMI DSD DAC on the way? :)

I once asked Audiobyte and they said that in the future there may be, the problem now is the decode license from Sony. I don't know whether it can also work with those of oppo or not. I need to confirm this info later . I may be wrong but I think I'd better wait until the DSD 512 have settled and the price has come down more.

Frankly I feel HDMI is not a great transport for audio signals. The M51 for instance often sounds better using the SPDIF than HDMI.

Is DSD available with a SPDIF connection?
