How should I listen to DSF files on a Chord DAVE?

I don't even know what jriver is...  I know its some music player I'm not familiar with.

 

Hmm.. Dave handles PCM better 

 

DSD/SACD: It converts native DSD (64 to 512) or handles DoP (64 to 256) and converts it to PCM with a 200 dB plus filter that eliminates all out of band distortion and noise from DSD. This supposedly sounds better than the DSD+ mode with DAVE. Filtering at this level is vital for a number of different reasons.

...and then it again re-creates the "out of band distortion and noise" with it's own DSD-style modulator.

 

The out of band noise is essential property of all SDM type converters, including all Chord ones. It is supposed to be removed by analog reconstruction filters at the DAC output. Without it you again have all the traditional problems of PCM.

 

no noise.... that's what is says above and since I own one I can attest to that

That's a mojo.... not a Dave dac...

it works just fine on the Dave natively...

Why you were then advertising to not play it natively but instead convert it to PCM?

 

 

 

Second part is better than DSD   DoP is better than DSD
