T+a dac 8 dsd


Recommended Posts

My non technical brain is still a bit puzzled by the fact that DXD files are bigger than even DSD 256 obviously.

 

AFAIK,

 

DXD 24/352.8 is 8.4672Mbit/s

 

and

 

DSD256 is 11.2896 Mbit/s

 

so

 

DSD256 files are bigger than DXD files?

Does that processor match the 6700k then?

 

There is a report that this machine is able to perform upsampling with all filters of HQPlayer to DSD512.

The processor is made for mobile devices and newer than the 6700K.

Hi Guys,

 

the report about the Intel NUC is from the Mivera Audio Forum:

 

Mivera Audio

 

You have to read the thread "The Superstream Transport":

 

 

"Yes I have only tested 512 with the Amanero though. With Poly-sinc-short-mp and DSD7 256+fs I get 18-20% CPU load with DSD 256, and 35-40% with 512."

 

The device which is named "Superserve" in the thread is the Intel NUC.

 

Hope that helps

MSB advertises against DSD to PCM conversion and presents their DSD as even more kosher than delta sigma through their mapping to 1.4 Mhz 24 bits.

 

Does this mean DSD is converted to PCM 1.4 MHz/24 bits?

Actually, this is not really accurate.  Most "cost no object" type of designs from most manufacturers are not what they make money on.  Manufacturers sell few of their top level products, and the cost to make them can be astronomically high, so the amount of money made on such designs is usually a fairly low percentage of a companies overall profits.  Most manufacturers make these top level designs because they become a "statement" type product, which can be good for the company's reputation (resulting in more sales of the lower level units), because they can use the "statement" design process as a way to learn about technological advances which can later trickle down to more affordable models, and because design engineers often want to have the opportunity to discover what is possible if cost restraints are lifted.

 

Thank you for the lecture.

I know about this topic and would surely not put other devices in this price range in this category.

You can regard this as gut feeling or personal opinion or dislike of this brand. Thats all.

I just learned from a T+A retailer that it appears the actual US retail price of the DAC 200 will be $6,900. He speculates that the $5,490 figure appearing in the press release/article I posted might actually be Euros.

 

These are the Euro prices of the 200 series:

 

T+A A 200: 3.790,- €
T+A MP 200: 4.390,- €
T+A DAC 200: 5.490,- €
T+A HA 200: 6.600,- €
