I also heard a little bird mention there has been a major behind the scenes shakeup in the audio world.  I am not going into it; it is no one's business until it is.  But it may have way down the road some interesting new developments in the DSD world... we will see!

 

Hi Andy

 

Without mentioning any company name - can you explain the technicals of what this shake-up involves?

also, I just learned something really interesting about the iDSD PRO.  The SNR ratio is actually slightly better in DSD512 compared to DSD1024. 

 

Can you share your source for this? Or the measurements themselves?

We are talking SNR differences so small why worry at all???

I'm not worried at all... I was more-so  asking for the measurement because I was wondering (not worrying) if it is even true...

Not what I was trying to say.  I was really just pointing out how amazing the engineering crew at iFi that chose and developed the iDSD products around the DSD1793 made major accomplishments. 

The Stereophile measurement is not that great for the iFi Pro iDSD.

 

Another reason I asked for measurements.
