Never let the facts get in the way of a good innuendo, eh? Schiit made a DSD DAC some time ago. It didn't sell well so they dropped it. They're perfectly capable of adding DSD to one of their current DACs but they don't believe it will make enough extra in sales to recoup the investment. It's all been explained and debated in great detail in the company's forum section over on Head-Fi. esldude, crenca and MikeyFresh 1 1 1 "People hear what they see." - Doris Day The forum would be a much better place if everyone were less convinced of how right they were.

I'd rather be exposed to high fidelity sound. I’m 100% confident not a single one of them won’t walk out amazed at the heights of quality that are possible. You're well wrong there, after every show the audio enthusiast fora are replete with posts by people complaining that the quality in the "high end" rooms wasn't up to their expectations. Granted, being enthusiasts they have high standards. The people you had in mind, the "great unwashed", may have lower standards but are even less interested in audio jewellery. semente 1 "People hear what they see." - Doris Day The forum would be a much better place if everyone were less convinced of how right they were.

You want to ask about the quality of my system? My answer would be the same as the answer that Rolls-Royce used to give when asked about the horsepower of their engines: Adequate. What’s the basis for differentiating between high-end and hi-fi? Is it that you’re interested hi-fi, but that interest doesn’t extend into the high end of the audio quality spectrum? Or is it that you believe that there is no qualitative distinction re high-end? Crenca said it well just above. My own view is that high-end and high-fidelity are not synonymous. By high-end, I mean cost-no-object components and circuit topologies in "jewellery" cases. By high-fidelity, I mean state-of-the-art performance in accuracy and ability to interface well with other equipment in the chain. So high-end can be high-fidelity, but it's not guaranteed.

You would do well to take your own advice. He was right, by the way. In the current context, interpolation is performed with a filter. He knows this because he's disassembled and analysed the software in several MQA decoders.
