Gotcha. I am not very familiar with the mechanics of DSD to PCM conversion, but I;m sure this can't be considered a lossless conversion. That's not to say it's degraded much, just that it's not the same information - it couldn't be converted back. Effectively you're resampling from 1 bit * 2.1MHZ down to 24 bit * 88.2KHz. It's the same number of bits, but not equivalent content. If only there were an easy way to rip the DSD stream... -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55729 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
