Is there a DAC on the market today that meets this criteria

[beerandmusic]

I have been out of the market for awhile...Curious if any newer dac on market:

 

1) can upsample everything to DSD256+ without needing software to upsample

2) has option of playing Native DSD bypassing other non-needed circuitry

3) superb usb isolation from noise (e.g. doesn't need usb toys)

4) less than $1000

5) good reviews

Only thing that I could think of. Its close, not new, and its DOP

it doesn't have galvanic isolation, and i don't want to have to worry about buying any usb toys to daisychain

 

I think i will wait for gustard a18

when i first read this i thought it was the digital box s2, but just now re-read and it says ds2 ultra which is a different animal...i am not familiar with this and have not heard of it before.  Did this come out before or after the s2?  do you know if it has galvanic isolation or any circuitry making it superior to the s2?

Does anyone know if the RME ADI-2 has galvanic isolation and if it will hardware upsample without software?

I think it doesn't have. Sorry.

Please have look at this device:

 

https://lindemann-audio.de/products/limetree-series/network/?lang=en

 

It is a DAC with Ethernet or WiFi input.

 

Hardware upsampling to DSD256 with AKM4137 SRC.

 

Good reviews, price around 1k.
