Do you have further info about this "Hybrid mode"?

 

Hi Marcus @Perfect sense,

 

please, can you answer this question?

Is this Hybrid Mode for DSD playback similar to Holo or Denafrips DACs?

 

Thank you

I don't have any technical insight except it's one of 4 DSP filter modes, one being NOS. Actually in my listening of each, I've settled on Hybrid mode as best sound for me.

Oh wow! So hybrid mode has been released? Did you have to do a firmware update?

I do not think that it is about the filter:

 

The Wavelight dac is capable of operating in pure R2R mode or in a Hybrid mode ladder*. Future firmware will allow the switch at the touch of a button.

*currently in development

Interesting I did not realize that may be different than the hybrid filter. Rockna did say they are working on next firmware for Wavelight.

I received today this Email from Rockna:

 

Dear Matthias,

the hybrid mode ladder implementation is a combination between R2R and multi-level deltasigma mode.

Thanks for the info. Then I imagine it would be updated on a future firmware. Looking forward to it.
