"APL Hi-Fi obtains this sound by converting DSD to analog without altering the DSD data in any way and converting PCM to DSD128 or DSD256 (user selectable)."

 

Chris, did you compare converting PCM  to DSD128 vs. PCM to DSD256?

Thanks

 

Matt

Yes, my preference using the APL DAC was DSD256.

Chris,

Do you still have the dac and streamer in your possession?  I ask cuz was wondering what a software upsampler like HQPlayer would do to present the dac with already converted PCM-to-DSD, or DSD upsampled to DSDnnn (the idea, of course, is to let the dac do less heavy lifting...unless of course that lifting is its secret sauce).

Yes, I have both sitting right next to me. 

 

Sure, it's possible attempt this.

While I understand that octaviars' question may have already been answered by Alex at APL, here's the answer I received from Alex:

 

"The DTR connection supports up to 384kHz/32bit PCM and up to DSD256 in NativeDSD format. DoP64 and DoP128 are also possible."

 

"However, if someone has a compatible DAC with USB Class 2 input, it is possible to stream up to DSD512 in NativeDSD format (not DoP) from the USB DAC connection of the streamer."

Thanks Joel!
