| Can an HDMI output be converted into something a USB input would accept? External DAC's accept DSD only in two ways:DSD over PCM (DoP) for S/PDIF and USB. Limited to 2x DSDDirect DSD via USB 2.0. My Brooklyn plays at least quad DSD this way just fine. But to get here I have to buy DSD files I'm afraid. You may find mor... | |
