DSD512 is indeed a nice sweetspot for SABRE chips. The Fore Audio DaisY1 excels there (review hint).

 

Sorry but I never heard that Sabre chips had DSD512 as sweet spot. As a matter of fact, Ess Tech has never officially declared support for it.

Furthermore, the Fore Audio DaisY1 DAC, as per review, does up to DSD256.

Usually, the very few Sabre DACs that declare support for DSD512 are rather unstable at that resolution.

Well, MY review will say otherwise. Believe who you will. DSD512 is sublime, and quite stable, otherwise I wouldn't make it a headline in my review; especially sublime with the DaisY1 (minimal but SABRE-calming effect) tube buffer and Bugle Boys. There, that's the essence of my review.

 

If it can do DSD512 in a stable way, I am glad for Fore.
