Jeebus that a lot of rum.... I'll see what I can do. Special stuff I want: DSD input through HDMI Pixie Dust

Sorry if I came off upset. It has been a long day at work. I'm not upset at all and I understood what you were saying. That's why I'm up to nearly more posts here than HF and I've been a member here less than a third as long. In the end what AlanY said about delta-sigma DACs being DSD is basically true but there are some details different that lead to PCM like noise performance vs DSD noise performance. With a delta sigma DAC the difference is in the output filter and the digital/filtering setup before hand.

none... how much rum would do the trick?

Long story short you can get it in PCM for sure. DSD I wish you the best of luck.

True but you need something to get it out of the HDMI which is part of the problem. Also I would put money that the DAC then just converts the DSD to PCM for conversion anyway. You're not going to get those noise numbers for a DSD DAC. Just get a HDFury2 or the box above and you can just use SPIDIF into anything.

San Francisco CA and Alexandria VA (where I currently live). Both are on the insanely expensive side of things. I think my house was well over $450/sqft.

Oppo does output DSD across the HDMI (1.3) but not too many receivers take the data. I'm not sure what anyone would do with the DSD stream anyway though since very few DAC can take it in.

not looking too promising: HDMI - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia To get it into a usable format I have an HDFury2 but this looks a whole lot better: http://www.smartvm.com/HDMI-3-in-1-Converter-Switcher-DVI-YPbPr-RGB-HDMI-v-13-+-SPDIF-LF-Audio-P41522.htm Maybe I should sell the HDFury2 on Ebay and get one of those since I won't use it for anything but audio

I'm pretty interested... how much?

How are you going to get it from HDMI to the DAC? I think the HDMI needs a receiver chip at the other side but I could be wrong.

I wote a couple reviews and I am a total shill

Congrats. I hope she's all better soon

Spec'ed out a 1.5 billion dollar ship

Is it sad that I laughed at that.....

pi^12 seconds is my magic number for burn in....

Damnit I want to go....

Tickets for my wife and I to San Francisco for the weekend after CanJam. To bad I can't make CJ but I'm still looking forward to the trip though.

Keep your dirty elephantine trunk and mind off my countrywoman. Bajan's unite !

Good good I emailed them but haven't heard back. I think I may call instead....

Well the much better BHSE is still not sold either. These are expensive amps and the economy isn't too hot.

FTFY

nice.....

Was looking over at HF and saw this: Styleaudio's Topaz and Emerald DAC/AMP Sale!! - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio :palm::palm:
