Sonore DSD to PCM / USB to SPDIF Converter $350.00


Recommended Posts

The DSD2PCM is a simple yet very sophisticated converter that receives DSD/DoP from DSD files on your server via USB and outputs PCM at 88.2 or 176.4 sample rate. ALSO converts USB PCM to SPDIF. You'll just need a DAC (at least 24/176 capable) that accepts SPDIF via an unbalanced digital cable (standard RCA or BNC with supplied adaptor) and USB and SPDIF cables (not supplied). All DSD2PCM conversion is done on board to eliminate computer CPU load and is compliant with the DSD over PCM (DoP) v1 specification. The DSD2PCM conversion incorporates sophisticated proprietary filters seldom found is realtime playback software. The converters are powered by an internal custom low noise linear power supply. The DSD2PCM converter is designed and built by Simple Design here in the US- certainly one of the leaders in advancing computer audio. This can't be more simple to use- just connect a USB cable from your Mac/PC/Server to the box and a SPDIF cable (RCA or BNC) between the converter and your DAC. Plug in the AC cord and you'll be listening to DSD. Also passes through all PCM sampling rates via asynchronous USB so if you need a converter for a non-USB DAC, this can be used as well. TO BE CLEAR, this is NOT a DAC. Totally sonically transparent. This unit is in perfect condition- placed on my rack, turned on, and worked perfectly until my DAC got DSD via a firmware update, so I no longer need this converter. Ground shipping included in the US only. 120v. Size is only 7 1/4'w x 2.75"h x 11"d. PayPal fee included for US buyers.

 

​Original price $1,099.00 Selling price $ 350.00 Will accept PayPal or bank check.
