another specification to update. The Cyan is a 28bit resistor ladder Dac. And the DSD version is NOT an r2r Dac. Same goes for the dsd side of the spring Dac module. The Architecture for he dsd module is very specific type of resistor ladder Dac and not to be confused with traditional old design referred to as r2r. The dsd module is highly optimized for optimum native dsd  output. There is no conversion to pcm like some might assume. It’s pure dsd to analog conversion.

 

 

 

Hi Bimmer100,

 

So, I suppose the DAC between PCM vs DSD versions are bit different.  I haven't read any impression on DSD version yet, of which I'm interested.  Can you please share a little about the sonic characteristic of DSD version?  I'm also interested if DSD version XLR outs have lower voltage than PCM version.  The spec on your webpage was not clear to me.  Thanks.
